The Contech Scarecrow is a motion-activated sprinkler that uses a sensor to detect animal invaders. This triggers an authoritative jet of water intended at the trespasser. The Scarecrow sprays for three seconds, and then waits seven seconds. If the unwanted animal returns, it sprays again. The scarecrow connects to a typical garden hose and has an on/off switch to stop the unit. The Scarecrow sprinkler head also can be adjusted for a spray or jet water pattern. The consequence is both unanticipated and instant! Garden pests or rodents quickly get out of the area and avoid it in the future.

Thanksgiving became an United States official holiday in 1941. This status developed a new trend among people: decorating their houses and yards with Fall and harvest themed decorating items.

In reality, most of these decorations were used in the end of harvest pagan European festivities while some other of these decorations developed during the 20th century.

The most common Thanksgiving decorations we can see in our neighbours' yards and houses include foddershocks, bundles of cornstalks, pumpkins, cushaw and scarecrows as all of them are symbols of the Fall season.
