If you want a humane, effective, and funny way to get rid of crows or other pesky animals that come onto your property so you can save your garden from being eaten or keep animals out of your garbage you may want to consider the ScareCrow Sprinkler. This automatic motion-detecting sprinkler will help you keep pests off of your lawn, and I think the reaction that you would get from animals when a jet of water suddenly shot out at them would be priceless, not to mention keep them away from your lawn for a long time.

You just have to set it up anywhere in your yard and attach it to your home’s water supply. It requires no external power as it can last for 6 months on a single 9 volt battery! It’s also very water-conserving as one detection only uses 2-3 cups of water.
