The Sureguard ScareCrow 360o has the ability to modify animal behaviour, but animals have natural behaviours and motivations that should also be considered. It may take longer to get results when an animal has strong motivation. For example, an animal eating your garden plants is probably doing so because little food is available.

Persistent behaviours can sometimes take longer to control. For example, deterring a neighbour’s dog from visiting will likely get quick results because the dog is aware it’s out of its territory. However, your dog may not be initially controlled until the deterrent becomes a nuisance to your dog.

How long the modified behaviour persists can vary. For example, a possum may stop visiting for a time but return when food is in short supply. Therefore, however quick the initial result should be, don’t be too quick to switch OFF the Sureguard ScareCrow 360o. You want to send a strong message if the animal returns: “this deterrent is always here to protect”.

Birds: NOT SUITABLE.

Cats: Visiting cats should quickly learn to stay away. Your pet cat may require more time to control.

Dogs: Visiting dogs should quickly learn to stay away because they are intruding on another’s territory. Your pet dog may require more time to understand the deterrent, and it should be left in place for the deterrent effect to persist.

Deer: Always have the Sentinel Light operating. Leave the device active continually.

Foxes: Use the Night-Mode setting if visitations occur at night and always have the Sentinel Light operating. If protecting poultry, you may require two or three devices surrounding your shed to ensure at least one can be seen from any approach direction.

Possums: Use the Night-Mode setting for best results and leave the device active continually. The Sentinel Light might not be required.

The Motion Sensor must be about the same height as the possum and within a Motion Sensor’s range. So if the possum is walking along a fence, up a tree, climbing a building structure, etc., ensure the device is at that height. If the possum is at ground level, install it at ground level.

Rabbits:  Activate the device continually. Shorten the Support Post to get the appropriate height for the Motion Sensor. If possible, use the Sentinel Light.

Reptiles: NOT SUITABLE. Does not work with cold-blooded animals.

Rodents:  Use the Night-Mode setting, and place it at ground level without the Support Post.

Wallabies and Kangaroos: Always have the Sentinel Light operating. Leave the device active continually.
