Will it spray a person walking close to it for example the gardener?

You can adjust the field in which it sprays but yes, anyone moving into sensor view will set it off. I have mine set so the walkway is just out of the spray area but we set it off every time we walk by.
771794
Absolutely. You have to turn off the water to it during hours people would walk in front of it.
771795
Yes! I sometimes forget it is there and get hit in the face. Pretty funny actually.

Yes, it is motion detector activated. It has a control knob that can be used turn it off when working nearby (don't forget to turn it back on again), or the sprinkler may be adjusted to only spray a given arc. For example, if you want to avoid spraying patio, sidewalk, etc...

The Scarecrow does not discriminate. Motion is motion, whether it's from the gardener, a squirrel, or a crow.
771798
Yes, anything that moves. Works very well. You can adjust its range very easily to not wet paths.
771799
yes, it will. You will need to turn off the tap or the sensor to prevent this from happening

Yes, it will spray any moving person or animal within the range you have set. It is a great way to surprise friends during a hot summer day!

It is activated by Motion so ANY MOTION will set it off. Short answer - yes

It will, if you place it on the ground or at an angle toward the target area. Keep in mind it will also pick up any other movement, including leaf and bush movement.

Yes, and no! As Hersom states below, it will work if the gnat physically touches the diatomaceous earth powder. Therefore, if the gnat walks on the diatomaceous earth powder, it will kill them. My suggestion for gnats on houseplants- depending on the severity: 1) some gnats may be there due to wet conditions including poor drainage. See if you can withhold watering for a couple of days so that things can dry out a bit. 2) spread a layer of diatomaceous earth on the top of the soil. It does not need to be too thick. If you can get a layer on top of the plant soil and then avoid watering for a couple of days - that can help. 3) Check into the yellow sticky cards/paper and hang them around. I think this will work:

Yes without question. Keep kids and pets away until the spray dries completely.

Yes it will, It will kill anything you spray it on. Be careful around your good lawn.

It has an adjustable tip . it sprays from a narrow stream to about a 5 foot circle

Yes it puts them on the run. Direct spray on contact kills them. A couple applications needed but works effectively.

As long as you didn't use the screw on cup and put the hose directly into the paint can. It sprays in any direction. Use a drop cloth though.

Yes but make sure you buy both this step and the second step. I used a garden sprayer (like for weed killer) to apply this stuff worked great.

On the bottle under directions it says that you can spray directly on the plant.Best wishes, Jeannie Lucas

From what I read on the manufacturer's site when I first purchased this is that it may harm them only if it is DIRECTLY sprayed on them. This is also why the recommend spraying early in the morning or late in the evening. When I spray, I actually walk backwards in hopes of disturbing anything in my path. I also use the end of the sprayer and shake it in bushes and plants to scare anything out, so as not to spray them directly. I use this about every two weeks on the perimeter of my yard and I honestly have fewer mosquito's and just as many bees and butterflies in my gardens/yard. I use specific plants to attract them as well. Hope this helps.

No, just any standard garden or yard sprayer, or even a simple spray bottle, will do.

I have never tried it but I believe it would. You might want to take your shoes off at the door because it could have the Remanence of the spray on it. :)

I don't think so.I looked into that and it seems to be counter productive.The spray should be all you need.

Don't think it goes that far. This little device is clever but it's hard to use if you don't firmly root it in the ground...it moves all over the place. At the top of the spray, I'd GUESS it's about 20 feet.

from my experience, the unit does not differentiate between people, animals or even vehicles. I backed the water tap off to about half so that the spray would not carry so far as to interfere with people passing on the sidewalk. It sprayed when it picked up the motion, just not as far.

It could but it might be pretty messy. I love love it but it does spray all over.
