Motion Activated Sprinklers for Yard - Effective Deer & Cat Repellent, Skunk Deterrent, Raccoon & Dog Repellent, Lawn Sprinkler System, Water Sprinkler for Lawn Protection

Don’t usually write reviews, but raccoons have been tearing up my lawn every night. I have four Orbit Lawn Enforcers, but the raccoons were still able to navigate around them. I purchased this one in addition to the four I already have to completely protect my yard. Since getting this, the raccoons haven’t touched my yard — they get sprayed every time they come close. It really works! Depending on how big your yard is, you might need multiple units to fully cover the area. I currently have five and just bought two more. Between this and the Orbit Lawn Enforcer, I prefer this one — the Trurid Deer and Cat Repellent. Here are the pros and cons between the two: 1. Sensitivity and Range: This one is much more sensitive and has better range than the Orbit, even though Orbit advertises up to 40 ft vs. 30 ft for this one. In reality, the Trurid’s range feels like more than 120 degree. There were a few times the Orbit sprinkler didn’t activate even when the raccoon was right in front of it (a limitation of the PIR sensor). It works best when the animal walks across the sensor rather than directly toward it. The Trurid, on the other hand, is more sensitive even when the animal walks straight at it. 2. Night Mode: The Orbit has a night mode, while this one only has an “on” mode. I have to turn it off every morning so it doesn’t spray my kids or the neighbors’ cats. 3. Build Quality: The Orbit’s materials are sturdier; the Trurid is mostly plastic. We’ll see how well it holds up after a few months. 4. Power Source: The Trurid is solar-powered, while the Orbit uses batteries. 5. Sprinkler Head: Both have similar sprinkler heads. 6. The Orbit has much clearer instructions. The assembly instructions for this product don’t quite match the actual parts — something other users have also mentioned. You need to screw on the sprinkler head adapter before attaching the sprinkler head. It took me two minutes to figure that out! Overall: The Trurid Deer Repellent wins for its superior range and sensitivity!

I was honestly skeptical at first, but this motion-activated sprinkler has exceeded my expectations. We’ve been dealing with deer eating our plants, neighborhood cats using the garden as a litter box, and even the occasional raccoon digging around at night. Within just a few days of setting this up, the difference was incredible. The motion sensor is surprisingly accurate and picks up movement quickly without constantly going off for no reason. The burst of water is strong enough to startle animals but completely humane—it doesn’t harm them, just teaches them to stay away. I love that it works day and night, so my yard is protected 24/7. Installation was simple and straightforward. It connected easily to my hose, and adjusting the spray range and sensitivity was quick. It also doubles as a regular sprinkler, which is a nice bonus for keeping the lawn healthy.

I was happy with this product until it stopped working. Unfortunately, their warranty support is seriously lacking. The product was quite effective in repelling deer, however, a couple weeks ago I noticed that there was a steady stream of water flowing from the nozzle, even when switched off with the batteries removed. I contacted the vendor directly through the Amazon website and confirmed that the device came with a two-year warranty. I then requested a warranty replacement, receiving the following response: "Hi There, Thank you for reaching out! We will get back to you at our earliest convenience. Looking forward to assisting you! All the best, Esther Customer Service" It has been one week now, and each time I send a follow-up I get the same canned response. It appears that their "Customer service dept is nothing more than an AI Bot. Avoid this company at all costs!

These work as promised, and the motion activation is good however, my squirrels and rabbits were unaffected by the water. In fact, I think they liked the heat relief, sprinklers. They did not deter my aggressive Texas beasts.

Tried other remedies to keep a cat from of our yard. Was urinating and leaving other unwanted things behind that stank. Hooked up and after a few days that kitty was history. It is very sensitive do you may need to adjust to keep it from spraying randomly.

Usually take my time reviewing these purchases, and most times I don’t.😊 However this product is a game changer if your hasta’s, roses, flowers are getting trimmed to the ground by deer. I purchased my first unit two years ago, and the second last year. Both have held up just fine and have yet to fail. Couple things to note. 1. I had to combine these with a separate water timer as they are used in the front yard where I have my roses, and I don’t want to be spraying guests or my overworked postal / Amazon package delivery guy. I turn them on at 8:00pm and off at 6:00am. 2. The last two years my Hasta’s actually flowered😊 3. Usually the deer are so spooked by just the activation of the sprinkler, they just now avoid my house all together. 4. They are so sensitive they will pick up people walking on the street, and if you have tall plants/flowers in front of them, they will activate on super windy days. Not common but it happens. 5. Hard water stains on the solar panels seems to not have an effect on operation. These have worked out so well for us, even if one of these failed, I’d buy another. Ditch the deer sprays and the stink they emit and buy a couple of these. It’s worth the money.

Great deer repellent for my wife's flowers. I think she has 5 total and is very happy with them.

I really wanted to like this product. The first product I received was leaky but I had a replacement and was working somewhat ok for some time. I took it apart last fall for overwintering. However when I reattached it this spring the product completely broke down with leaks throughout the body. The quality of this product is not very good and I would not recommend this product at this time. 2 stars because it was at least usable for some time.
