Best Motion Activated Sprinklers

The Orbit 62100 certainly gives an impression of a sophisticated device the moment you look at it. And it certainly is a smart sprinkler compared to regular motion-activated units designed for garden use.

First of all, the thing that makes this model truly special is its unique day/night detection system that allows utilizing the sprinkler 24/7. Moreover, the settings allow adjusting the unit to work at certain times of the day, be it daytime, night, or a full-day cycle.

When it comes to performance, the model's spray distance of 70 feet gets the job done since it can reach objects with a powerful stream of water even outside of the detector’s reach.

Additionally, this model from Orbit is optionally available in two different sizes that are designed to meet the needs of larger, more demanding gardens. As far as the effective range goes, one single Orbit 62100 can cover the area of up to 1600 square feet, which is quite surprising considering its dimensions.

All things considered, this model from Orbit is arguably the best motion activated sprinkler out there due to its high-effectiveness and relative ease of use. With this device on your lawn or in the garden, you can always be sure that no plant will be disturbed.

When it comes to more straightforward solutions to pests and animals that happen to stumble upon your garden or lawn, there is no better device than a sprinkler. When expensive chemical repellents are of no use, this Havahart model has an answer to all uninvited guests.

The infrared motion sensor that is used for this Havahart product is capable of detecting stray animals from 100 feet away. As for the sprinkler functionality, it does its job fairly well and can spray an area the motion detector is facing when it’s so-called “target” gets closer than 35-40 feet.

The convenience features, on the other hand, include 4 sensitivity settings that make it easier to adjust the motion sensor according to your needs. This way, you can tune the sprinkler to react only when animals of certain size get close to the sprayer.

Moving on, the installation of the motion-activated sprayer is fairly simple since it connects to your water system just like any other conventional water sprinkler. To make things simple, the unit can be used as a regular irrigation model, which is rather convenient since it should be connected to a water pipe anyway.

In the end, the Havahart 5277 proved to be a convenient animal repellent that doesn’t require tons of maintenance and that can be used in both daytime and at night without any issues.

If small animals become a major annoyance to you and your family, the time has finally come to deal with them. In a humane way, of course. Fortunately, Hoont has a decent model for you that has all the features of a premium device, however, it is not overpriced at the same time.

First things first, let’s take a look at the features that make this model stand out from similar products. Unlike the majority of water sprinklers, Hoont water blaster utilizes a jet technology that makes the nozzle spray water in small but quick bursts. This way, the sprinkler doesn’t consume a lot of water and remains effective at the same time.

The only thing that did bother us, though, is a somewhat limited spray distance that is locked at 5 feet by default. So, if you want to use this sprinkler model to its maximum capacity, we recommend mounting the unit as close to the plants as possible. Alternatively, you can adjust the nozzle to spray water at distances of up to 30 feet but this will increase the water consumption quite a bit.

Despite this minor issue, this water blaster model from Hoont is simply the best sprinkler for small gardens. So, if you want to protect your garden without breaking a bank, this device will fit that bill.

One of the few models in our reviews that can actually turn 360 degrees, the Abco Tech ABC2175 surely makes the most of it by effectively spraying several square feet in one go.

If any animal dares to get within the effective reach of this sprinkler, it will receive a frightening yet harmless dose of water, making that animal rethink its decisions and probably avoid your garden in the future.

Other than that, the model's biggest strength is its combination of a powerful infrared motion sensor and an adjustable nozzle sprayer that fires powerful bursts of water while keeping the water consumption as low as possible.

By opting for this model, you are getting your lawn and garden firm protection against several pests and wild animals, including deer, birds, raccoons, as well as stray cats and dogs. On top of that, the reinforced base makes it completely dogproof, as long as it is installed properly, so you don’t have to worry about your or your neighbors’ pets knocking the device over.

All in all, if you are searching for a simple yet effective deterrent sprinkler, this model will be right up your alley. Fully adjustable and easy to use, it makes all the difference when it comes to the security of your lawn.

This mean-looking device from Aspectek has something more to offer in terms of lawn security other than its cool appearance.

To start off, the sprinkler is designed to deter the most unusual wild animals that can possibly visit your lawn or backyard including deer, moose, various bird species, as well as your usual suspects: raccoons, squirrels, stray cats and dogs.

The thing you may have issues with, though, is the battery compartment that holds them a bit too tight, making it harder to take the batteries out at times. But other than that, there are no real disadvantages that actually affect the performance of the sprinkler.

On the bright side, the infrared motion sensor of the unit has a view angle of 120° and an effective range of 30 feet, making this model a worthy investment in the security of your garden since it can cover up to 1000 square feet.

Moreover, the unit is quite durable. Its all-weather housing makes the model convenient to use at any time of the year, as long as your watering system is not affected by cold temperatures.

Wrapping things up, this motion-activated sprinkler from Aspectek has a tremendous value-price ratio compared to similar products in the same price range, which makes it a go-to pick for owners of small- to medium-sized lawns and gardens.
