Keep Critters Off Your Car

I have a KOI pond and have trouble with Herons eating the fish. Problem solved with a device called a Scare Crow. It’s a pulsating lawn sprinkler that is connected to a motion detector. The sensivity is adjustable. $80 or so from either AZPonds.com or Dr Foster & Smith. When it detects motion it sprays for 3-4 seconds. Your car may get wet but no bird or cat problems.

So for keeping kids out of the yard, do they have the chain gun model that shots in several burst of 3 or 4 shots

No this is how you get rid of birds.

And this is how you get rid of cats.

I think I'll get one and put at the end of my driveway. That way when the moron neighbor walks their dog down the street and it craps on my treelawn at least I'll get a little payback.

Just copy and paste this except take out the spaces.

Not all forums allow youtube videos though.

If either one of those commercials were to be shown on American TV the animal rights groups would be attempting to not only put Ford out of business but the AD agency as well. Good commercials though!
