They work!
Purchased the two pack for our backyard gardens. These deterrents shot a strong stream of water which is fully adjustable. Works well at keeping the deer away from my garden buffet.

Flimsy and non returnable
All plastic body was flimsy but worked for 64 days. Then stopped activating when animals walked in front of motion sensor. Now a week later, it won't shut off. I would not advise buying. Return window is only 30 days. The sprinkler squirts the water way too high. Although it is somewhat adjustable it won't squirt low enough to get the animal wet, just goes over their body. Ducks particularly get used to getting sprayed and then seem to enjoy it. I bought the sprinkler to scare ducks off the dock before they covered the dock with duck poop.

Properly is Clean again
Scares birds off my roof without hurting them! My property is much cleaner without all of the bird waste on my decks among other messy things they bring ...

ABCOSPORT WATER JET animal repeller review and hints.
Reviewing the Abcosport Water Jet Animal Repeller:I received it quickly and on time. It included everything listed in the ad. It also included a plastic hose-barb-to-male-garden-hose fitting, which I didn't need. On the plus side, everything was precision manufactured and operated as you might expect. The instructions were brief and understandable in English. On the negative side--and this isn't something that should turn you off entirely to the product for home use--the plastic parts could be a little more robust (The sprayer part is plastic, also. If I were running a commercial operation, I'm sure the sturdiness would have to be better.)I have had the jet installed for several days now. There a few things I have learned about this type of repellent, and they might be helpful to you before you can understand it entirely. It detects motion by sensing heat moving perpendicular to the sensor. Set on a very low setting, it won't detect anything more than your hand passing in front of the sensor. On higher settings it senses things you don't think about beforehand, such as the sunrise changing the heat signature and tripping the device, or warm plant leaves moving in the wind.I'll explain how I tested and set the sensitivity. I placed mine at the end of a short garden I was guarding. Initially, I had no idea how sensitive it would be to guard against rabbits and raccoons, inasmuch as I couldn't sit there 24 hours a day and wait for a critter to show up. So after a few days of fumbling around, I came upon a notion to fill a water bottle with warm water and cast it across the path using a fishing rod, and then drag it back. BINGO! That did the trick.I still have to see if it trips accidentally too often and drenches my garden. [My garden is a little different than most. I put down a soaker hose, cover it with soil, cover that with plastic, cover the plastic with cedar mulch, and plant my plants in slits. With this method I can adjust the water and food more precisely and not worry as much about over-watering, etc. I do have a regular portion of the garden with herbs, however, and they could easily become overwatered.]Time will tell, now, if this was the solution I had hoped for. Good luck with yours.

Cheaply made and servicable, but you're going to have to work
This is a cheaply made device seems to work, motion detector is crude but effective for deer for me. the sprayer is fine... the problem was it comes with a cheap plastic quick connect that isn't going to work from your hose unless you have a quick connect socket that matches up. Even if you have one, likely the provided connect is still going to leak. I bought plastic "good" ones from amazon and replaced the unit's provided connect. after a day under pressure is started to leak. Because I'm insane, I'm going to replace them with a brass socket/connector and see if it holds together.More than likely, if you're buying this you dont want the pain in the butt which is fair.

Seemed promising, but returned unused
The Abco Tech Motion Activated Sprinkler seemed like a great solution for keeping animals out of my yard, and I was excited to try it. However, after setting it up, I realized it wasn’t the right fit for my needs and never actually used it. I also worried about strong winds triggering it too often and wasting water. In the end, I decided to return it.

Did not work for rabbits although I got sprayed several times
First thing that someone should know is that Abcosport doesn't seem to support these. When I was having problems with installation, (where/how to connect the hose?) I followed the Amazon links for support which took me to the Company website, which offered no support. I did put in a question through another place in Amazon and the answer wasn't helpful. (Just connect the hose...) Although I rated it as such and asked a follow up, that was it.The problem was yes, it does come with one half of a quick release already _tightly_ installed in the stake. Only one part of an item that is purchased as a two piece set. I saw reviews by people trying to buy something that fit to it without success. It took a lot of trying and the right wrench, as well as risk to the plastic part, to remove it.Then I installed it where my last old dead Contech Scarecrow (no longer sold) used to live. It sprayed at me as I was 100 feet away so I knew batteries worked, etc. But even at the highest sensitivity, it ignored the rabbits tearing up my broccoli, 10 feet away. I tipped it and pointed it right at the place the rabbits liked to work. Nothing. I think the lens opening may be too small.Last, after just a couple of days of testing, the metal stake was already corroded. I cleaned it up the best I could and it's all going back. I have one more brand to try. This will be #4. Replacing an old product that worked for me should be easier than this.
