Product Description

The Guardener 2.0 Animal Repellent provides the latest in animal repelling technology. Utilizing a two-tiered system of ultrasound and pressurized jets of water, the Guardener 2.0 repels deer, raccoons, rabbits, dogs, cats and other animals without hurting them. No chemicals or pollutants are used, making this the perfect device for organic gardeners and the environmentally considerate. With adjustable range and sensitivity, the Guardener 2.0 can be customized for any area. This solar powered device uses a passive infrared motion sensor to trigger: 1.) Ultrasonic waves of multiple frequencies that safely discourage animals from approaching, and 2.) Pressurized water to physically repel animals. With its self-contained solar powered design, no hose hookup is required and the device can be placed anywhere to keep animals out of gardens, lawns and landscaped areas. The improved version 2.0 includes a better and adjustable sensor, an improved and stronger battery, improved hidden wiring, all components sealed from moisture, smarter logic and "intelligence", and false firings have been virtually eliminated.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Unit - Jury is still out..., November 6, 2008

There's no question this unit works as advertised. This past spring I embarked on a massive landscaping overhaul and noticed that the deer had decided to sample some of my 200 new plants. I live in Morris County NJ on 3 acres of property - we have a lot of deer.

There are similar units, however they require a hose and I was keenly interested in the portability of this unit. I put this unit in a strategic location and could hear it go off in the middle of the night during the summer. It made me smile every time - my plantings surely grinned too.

The jury is out, however, on the battery durability. Towards the fall it seems to have stopped working - but I am heavily wooded and this could be an artifact of very limited direct sun exposure to charge the solar cell. I'll revisit in the spring.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, poor construction, May 27, 2010

This device works great... when it works at all. I bought one last year and my deer problems vanished. I loved it so much I bought one for my in-laws. Then the problems started. The one I bought for my in-laws didn't work at all. Since I was an electronics tech, I was able to diagnose the problem: The power switch was broken. I purchased an identical, replacement switch and popped it in. The sensor + ultrasound started working correctly but the water pump did not turn on. It turns out the pump was bad as well. Meanwhile, our unit stopped working. I took it apart and found that the sensor/electronics unit was totally filled with water from our winter rains. The circuit board was completely corroded. The unit has inadequate seals and will not withstand a single winter. I'm not talking snow and sub-zero temperatures here. I'm talking about ordinary, California rain. It's a shame that such a great device could not be built and QCed better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does the job others can't, August 17, 2011

This review is from: Guardener A201 2.0 Animal Repellent (Lawn & Patio)

I've been using this product for 2 weeks with great success. It has one fault: the sprayer doesn't go more than about 15 yards. My girlfriend tested the guardener for two weeks in her front yard. She said it drove the squirrels away. Since I moved it to the vegetable garden the deer stay away but we still have a raccoon problem. We will see how the guardener performs in next few weeks.
We've tried a scarecrow. It works great but is limited by the hose. I recommend the scarecrow for the range of its sprayer. The scarecrow throws water a good 25 yards. It takes a 9-volt battery that lasts about 6 weeks.
I've also tried various motion-activated sound and light sensors powered by solar-power. They work but have limited range.
I highly recommend at least 3-2 guardeners for a 150 ft by 75-ft garden.
