Scare animals out of the garden with new sprinkler
Published 11:40 am Friday, January 31, 2014
An unexpected spray of water is an effective and humane way to keep unwanted animals out of the garden.
That’s the method used by Havahart’s Spray Away Elite II, a sprinkler animal repellent. It won the Golden Shovel Readers’ Choice Award from the website Gardening Products Review, based on a nationwide vote by the site’s readers.
The motion-activated sprinkler holds water in a 3.5-gallon basin, so it can be used wherever it’s needed. Solar-powered, infrared sensors detect an animal’s movement and heat up to 35 feet away, prompting the device to emit a sudden blast of water and a startling noise and motion.
The product sells for $179.99 at www.Havahart.com. Shipping is free.
