Safe for Animals & People
Other wildlife deterrents are inhumane and unsafe for humans. The goal is to get the animals to move along, not get hurt. Spikes, chemical deterrents, and even animal decoys are not only unsightly but can damage your lawn. The Orbit Yard Enforcer Motion Activated Sprinkler works by detecting motion in the designated area, releasing a burst of noise and activating the sprinkler function for a blast of water.
Day/Night Settings
Most critters are active at dawn/dusk and overnight; setting controls give you the option to have the motion detector sprinkler activate during the day, at night, or 24 hours a day for full-time protection from uninvited visitors. It can also be manually turned on and off.
Solid Construction
Securely affix the motion activated sprinkler in the ground with a heavy duty steel spike. Its brass hose swivel connects to any garden hose and provides a leak-free connection that will not corrode or break over time.

Works EXACTLY as I wanted it to! Defending my garden against those little bastards, all I know is my tomatoes are no longer disappearing! Small enough to leave out all the time & just mow around. ONLY problem I have is u CANNOT position the big round ball part lower (like it SHOWS on the instructions!) IT WOULD BE NICE TO so the sprinkler stream wasn’t hitting it! Also FEDEX does a SH!TTY job of delivering!!! I have a sign that SAYS RING THE BELL, they did not, I also have video of them just tossing it down, lazy fat slobs!

So far we have had great success keeping pesky deer away from critical trees and plants. We’re very happy with the product.

We have 3 of these around our garden, and we’re buying 2 more for our roses. Told our neighbors about them, they’ve purchased multiple units too. Keeping a herd of deer at bay.

I would love to give this device an honest review however it came missing a part for small animal deterrent. I got this to prevent raccoons from pooping in my pool and would like to be able to use my pool
I contacted customer service and was told they would contact the appropriate department and have one sent to me. Have heard nothing and am still waiting. If this review doesn’t get their attention then I will have to call again.
I am updating my review because my prior review got the attention of many and I was contacted by orbit care escalation lead. They explained to me the issue regarding the missing part and had the part sent out to me a few days after my review. Because of the storms here I was unable to set things up until today and the product appears to work great. I will have to adjust it a bit because I have raccoons coming from one direction and ferile cats from another.
SO Im pleased with their customer service.

The night before I installed the sprinkler I had 5 deer in my back yard. First night they came to the edge of the yard and ran when the sprinkler came on. Have not been back since. Look forward to next spring when we can finally have a vegetable garden. I will be purchasing two more for my front yard Hosta garden – finally something that works.

Last fall a extremely large Blue Heron wiped out all but two of my Koi. But this year I’m ready to deal with this “protected” killer. I’m also going to set up my go pro so I can get some satisfaction out of scaring the crap out of it.

I love this thing. I’ve tried all kinds of sprays to ward off the deer, but they have to be reapplied. The Enforcer does the job! Only problem is after I saw how effective it is, I wanted to buy 3 more and they are out of stock everywhere.

Item was sent without small animal adapter. Called customer service and was told it was out of stock and they had no date when it would be a available. Since there is only a 5 day return period and item must be returned unused I did not ‘try to use it and we will send The adapter when available’. The company knew the adapter wasn’t available but sent the incomplete unit anyhow. The company did pay for return shipping and it took about 3 weeks to get my refund. Buyer beware.

Great product to keep deer away from your garden. Also adds some additional watering to the lawn when activated. Grandkids love being sprayed by them.

I was having continuing issues with deer and armadillos. The deer eating my greenery and the armadillo digging all around the roots. The Enforcer worked exactly as I had hoped. Even being sprayed at least 6 times until I finally got it right, it is easy set up and easy to regulate the spray, It is very light sensitive and sometimes if the morning is cloudy it will activate. I have been hit several times as I left the house. Likewise It has sprayed some guests leaving later in the evening. We all laugh and everyone thinks it is ingenious and a great way to deter the deer. Overall I am happy with the way it has performed and my plants look much better for it being in place.

After ordering The Enforcer and trying it out for a week or so, I tried to order another one and they were sold out, much to my chagrin. It is an effective tool in deterring deer!

Pro:
Most humane way to get rid of a stray cat that cannot be trapped.
Adjustable blasting zone.
Eventually it will work
Cons:
We have a bumpy lawn and aiming it was a bit challenging.
Lots of false positives when it was windy – triggers on leaves and rustling bushes.

I have deer come in to my yard frequently. I planted several tomato plants prior to buying one of these and a deer topped every one of them early on. Since placing one of these around my garden, no deer damage. The tomatoes are doing great. It has a very solid build and is easy to put together and set out. So far it has worked very well with zero problems.

Our chickens love to feast in our succulent garden. This is the most effective solution i have found to scare them off and train them to stay away. Really works!

Sprinkler is activated during the day even on Night mode. Also, their “smart” algorithm that suppose to learn repetitive movement and conserve water is worthless.

Deer eating everything, birds eating my grass seed and my garden. This severely reduced such incidents. I have two hooked up right now. It won’t help with rabbits. Rabbits just keep at eating while they get sprayed. The sprinkler head is fragile. If you’re careful, the head will last a few years. Customer service has been slow during covid, but was good pre-covid.

I have a small grape vineyard in my yard. Every year the darn raccoons get them about a week before they should be picked. So far I still have my grapes and looks like I will get my harvest. Have seen a secondary benefit of the water spray on the grapes has really helped them grow much better as well as the Black Berries close by. LOVE this item and I can say it works very well on motion beyond the stated range. RACCOONS BEWARE!!!

Really like watching my security cam videos where the raccoons get scared of by the Enforcer. Would love to see a time clock on this device too, as I’d like to have it operational between midnight and 6a only; once days shorten, we’ll be constantly worried about watering the delivery folks or paper delivery. Also, ideally, we could hook this into our intelligent camera system which picks up animals quite well – could be much more accurate that way!

So initially I was frustrated because I was sent this item without the small animal attachment because I needed it for a cat spraying on the house. But they did send it and we got it installed. This morning I am sitting in my home office and I heard the sprayer activate. I looked out the window and there he was, the cat in question! He did get sprayed and when I looked out the window he was staring at the item in disbelief for the longest time. He even had his back leg up which I thought was funny. I guess he decided to leave that area because he ran around the car and across the road to my neighbors house. It worked like a charm. Very humane! And now I want another one to put in the back yard because my neighbors dog urinates all over my flowers.

This is very nice. Multiple adjustments. Sensor is motion and infrared body heat sensitive. Sensor head can be adjusted up and and by thumbscrew clamp. Fine adjustment of the left right adustmets of the sensor head can be done on the pole. It is especially nice the sensor can be set to operate all day, during night only, during day only, of off. The water shooting head can be adjusted for any swing arc and the range of the water shooting out can be adjusted via a top knob. I tested this and found that if am standing still so the unit does not know I am there, then a move my foot or leg just a little, the sensor senses it and shoots. I like that for my preference and need I could and did place my senor close to the base spike, because I am warding off Armadillos here in Jacksonville, FL. My neighbor’s fence is open all across his back yard exposed to the woods. So they Armadillos enter his yard and go the his side fences and dig through under his fence and goes through his fence doors to go into my yard. Those Armadillos tear up my grass and make many snoot hools scavenging for grubs and worms. Then my robotic lawn mower hits the divots or holes. So this Yard Enforcer scares the Armadillos and they leave instead of remaining in my yard to roam around and dig it up.

I ordered the Yard Defender to chase away the deer in my front yard. When I received it I found that it had another setting to deal with small animals. Since I had a nighttime visitor that was tearing up my yard, probably a raccoon, I decided to put it in my back yard. I have heard it going off several times a night and the damage has not continued. I still am trying to deal with the pesky deer in the front yard so I am trying to order a second one with the discount code they gave me for writing this review. However, it is not apparent in their ordering system how to do this. I rate the Yard Defender Very High, however, I rating Orbit’s computer system as being very confusing. 5 or the Yard Defender, 2 for the Orbit computer system.
