Transform your outdoor space into a peaceful sanctuary with the Havahart Critter Ridder Motion Activated Animal Repellent and Sprinkler. This innovative pest control device combines advanced infrared technology with humane animal deterrent methods to protect your yard, garden, and property from unwanted visitors. Two AA batteries are required to power the device with self-discharging during storage, meaning that the full capacity may not be available during first use (batteries not included). Recharge capacity of rechargeable batteries can decrease after extended use. Be sure to check voltage of installed batteries and replace them if the device fails to function properly. Whether you're dealing with persistent squirrels raiding bird feeders, cats using flower beds as litter boxes, or deer browsing through your prized plants, this motion activated sprinkler provides reliable, eco-friendly protection. The device features a sophisticated infrared sensor that detects animal heat and movement within 60 feet, instantly triggering a startling 5-second water spray that safely deters intruders. This effective rodent repellent and animal repellent outdoor solution works on cats, dogs, chipmunks, groundhogs, squirrels, skunks, deer, rabbits, raccoons, opossums, and birds. Four adjustable sensitivity settings allow you to customize protection for different animals and situations. The distance dial lets you control spray range up to 100 feet, while the sensitivity dial ranges from least to most responsive. For versatility, switch to continuous spray mode to use as a regular sprinkler for lawn and garden watering. This dual-purpose design maximizes value while maintaining your landscape. The included metal spike ensures secure placement anywhere on your property. Using only 2 to 3 cups of water per activation, this environmentally conscious pest repellent operates efficiently while providing 24/7 monitoring and protection for your outdoor spaces
