Maybe the answer isn’t even a dog repellent. However, he never actually touched it! He left the mess there for my neighbor to clean up. The dog’s owner went to the trouble of bending down and pretending that he was picking up just in case anyone was watching. A few weeks ago, I watched as a dog pooped on my neighbors grass.

Unfortunately for us, many dog owners are irresponsible. This entry was posted on Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 at 4:35 pm and is filed under Gardening, Home & Ranch. I may need 3 or 4 sensors, since my area is 100 feet long, but I’ll start with 2 one in my raised bed garden, and one by my apple tree and raspberry bed. I’ll put them at opposite ends of my garden & orchard. I haven’t had any deer yet this summer, but I know I will in the fall when they come for apples and pears. I think I’ll try two Contech scarecrows for my yard. The Contech scarecrows run $58.49 each (on Amazon), or $175.47 for three sprinklers. My system cost about $87.00 and I have three sprinklers covering my garden. Keith believes the Scarecrow sensor will pick up movement within 25 feet, and will read an arc of 270 degrees (3/4 of a circle). The other night I was looking out when the system went on and the deer ran out into the field and stopped, then it sauntered off.” By the way, the Scarecrow runs off of a 9 v battery so no electric cords. Running the electric cord to the box across the yard is not good if you mow your lawn. I am replacing the cheaper ($7) Rainbird sprinkler with the all brass version ($17) because the cheaper one is, well, cheap and doesn’t work very good. My system went OK but in retrospect I think I would just buy the Scarecrows from Amazon (in fact I just ordered one today). His motion sensor also has a sensitivity setting for large or small animals,depending on what you’re trying to keep out. Position the sensor so that it faces outward (away from what you want to protect), and so that nothing is blocking the sensor.
One used electric cord to power the system.Three Rainbird sprinkler heads and pvc pipe with fittings.One plastic box for housing (water tight).24 v transformer and one sprinkler valve from Lowes.More info about the product on Contech Electronics website.
You can find the commercial motion-activated sprinkler on Amazon, made by Contech Electronics. What follows is from the text of his email: From Keith Blaylock: During the discussion about deer fencing at our Root Cellars, Greenhouses & Gardens slideshow in June, Keith mentioned his “non-fence” system, and agreed to forward information on his system for our website.
