I need to hear from people that are using the "scarecrow" sprinkler

off critters as to whether it really works, pros & cons. After two
years of
our pond life, a heron has discovered it. We have a bird sanctuary

is not the bird we want and before we actually got to see it, some of
our
oldest fish are gone and we are heartsick. I have the pond netted
right now
but I would like to use the sprinkler if it really works. Thanks for
any

I use one for the cats and racoons it works pretty darn well... after
some trial and error I was able to turn down the sensitivity to keep it
from spraying the squirrles and birds.

One word of caution... make sure you use REALLY GOOD garden hose to
connect it, most hoses don't survive the constant presure.
