GARDIGO® Water Jet Animal Repellent | Bird Repellent, Heron Repellent, Cat Repellent Garden | Motion Activated Sprinkler | Up to 10m Range | Pigeon Deterrent Heron Scarer | Batteries Included

... this item daily for four months now, so I feel that I have given it enough of a run to be able to sensibly comment.I will start by telling you what I use it for.This product has saved my garden ! I utilise it to deter cats from entering under a side gate and using my borders to relieve themselves on with uncanny - and dismaying - regularity. Since installing this product, my soil has not been defaecated upon even once ! No more do I have to contend with that putrid odour of pussy excrement as I stoop to scoop the poop yet again.I have it permanently attached to a hose which is fitted with an electronic timer. As I do not wish to be soaked every time I go to my garage, I have set the timer so that it comes on from seven at night to seven in the morning and I adjust it with the seasons. (As I am mostly at home during the day, I find that the cats are not so much an issue during daylight hours.) Please note that if you do this, there is always some residual water in the system and I recommend dangling a foot in front of the sensor for that first discharge before walking past in the mornings ! And do make sure that you remember to warn anyone else who might be housesitting, for example ! Otherwise, they will not thank you as the oscillating jet stays on for about five seconds and doesn't take any prisoners !!The direction and reach of the spray are easily adjustable. The motion sensor, I have found, works extremely well but one has to use some sense with these things ! Yes, it will be set off by things blowing around in front of it so position it facing a bare wall or fence if you can (or ensure that large plants are sufficiently far away) and don't leave it facing the sun. And anyway, the occasional 'false alarm' is a small price to pay for a cat-free garden !!I have yet to change the batteries and the unit is working as well as it did when first installed. As is my wont, I shall update this review should the product cease to function as it should at any stage. I will be very surprised if it makes it through the winter unscathed, but I shall certainly give it a go. If I have missed anything that you desperately wish to know, ask a question and I will do my best to respond...FVP.S. I have a field at the foot of my garden and to keep the cats away at that end - because another one of these would be a little extravagant - I have a PIR motion sensor built into an audio recorder onto which I have recorded the sound of a big dog barking loudly ! It's quite fun listening to their madly scrabbling paws when they first encounter it !! With both deterrents, I can finally breathe easy. AAAaaahhh...P.P.S. 09.04.2024 - Amazingly, the unit DID survive the winter (although I took it into the garage for three of the really cold days). I changed the batteries last month for the first time in ten months. It is still going strong, with no leaks, and I think that's pretty good...P.P.P.S 08.01.2025 - this item has finally broken as I forgot to take it inside during the latest really cold spell and the plastic has burst ! It's my fault. You can't question the quality of the product, really. And, frankly, even if I had to buy a new one every year, I think that's worth doing for the function that it performs...

It took me a little while to set up, once set up it works well as a cat deterrent. I’ve brought three sonic deterrents that most of the cats ignore, and lion poo which the older cats keep away from, this however is a great deterrent works well along with an adult super soaker I aim close to the cats when, and if I manage to see them, both scare them, which is the point. I place it in a different part of the garden from time to time. After three weeks of using it and the super soaker, we are finally cat free!!! I’ve taken it out of the garden mostly but time to time set it up again to keep them out.

The media could not be loaded. Works will with modification.I modified this one because of a bad experience with a different brand.This one has a metal spike and thread for a quick fit attachment, I replaced the plastic attachment for a brass one. The other brand broke at the attachment because it was plastic.I've also removed the centre plastic pipe because I need it to sit lower down to the ground. The pressure made it sway too much, moving the ground, making it even more wobbly and spray to high, and the PIR sensor not level, had to use a 3/4 -1/2 male to male adapter.Will probably change the sprinkler head for a metal one with more adjustability.

So I was happy with the quality of the product when I got it out of the box. It was easy to set up and worked fine for a few weeks.Unfortunately though, the rubber seal which is located where the metal anchor rod connects to the device has bulged out and water is leaking from it.Such a shame because I had this issue with cheaper versions in the past and was really confident that if I spent a bit more I would get something that would last.

Easy to assemble and use.Very affective at keeping cats and herons away from my pond.

I had suffered with cats digging my bark out of my plant beds and strewing it onto my decorative pebbles which could only be cleared by hand😡I tried the high pitch noise scarers, half filled water bottles, orange peel and even bought the Lion dung all to no availI purchased this water sprayer and what a resultI haven’t had to clear up sinceIt is brilliant and I would definitely recommend itDon’t think the Evri delivery man will thoHe went round the back to leave a delivery, when I went to the front door he was coming from the back dripping with waterIt zapped him on the way in and way outSo effectiveLove it

Good product in warm weather. First day of freezing temp caused leak, that went undetected for a few days. Costing over £100 in water charges.Beware.

The media could not be loaded. Easy to put together after I didn't in the first place 🙄 It was leaking so I took it apart, put tape round the joins and this time made sure I screwed it together right. I adjusted the spray to maximum and that was it. Ive bought this to keep herons away so it'll be out between March and October. Then I'll put it away in the shed to protect against frost 👍
