This Innovative Motion Activated Sprinkler Keeps Yard Pests Away
October 9th, 2018

Enter the Contech Electronics Scarecrow Motion Activated Sprinkler. Not only does this protect gardens, it does so in a completely safe and humane manner.

Not only for garden protection, this sprinkler also will deter cats, dogs or deer from using your space as their personal bathroom.
