I bought a different brand of motion sprayer several years ago because these ones seemed too expensive (I think it was Havahart brand). Those ones gave out in a year and were not effective at keeping deer and chickens off my plants, and then my dog killed them all so I didn't think to try again until this year.
This year, I tried the Orbit brand and am pretty satisfied. I read enough comments about leakage that I decided to put a thin layer of faucet valve grease on each gasket and O-ring (including battery door and electrical connector), and I've had no leaks spring up on me. The [too]many threaded connections do give a lot of opportunities for them to get unscrewed while trying to get everything set up just right. They could have built some kind of detent bumps right into the mold to hold the threads, but it seems like some more of the leak problems may be from mold flashing on the seal surfaces, so hopefully some new molds are in the cards anyhow.
There are a lot of installation options with it being built in several modules, though I would like about 1/2" more wire length on the electric valve module to get all the pieces aligned the way I (aesthetically) want them.
There is no amount of water pressure that will let you get near this thing without getting a surprisingly unpleasant blast of water. With any realistic water force this has the gumption to bullseye womprats from clear across the yard. You will certainly need to get a feel for the nuanced sensor though.
It comes with a software setting enabled that makes it desensitized immediately after it triggers, and then it gradually returns to the set sensitivity. This seems to be something that has lead to most of the other negative reviews. You can turn it off. Simply skim the brief manual.
I am using this to keep chickens from roosting in my greenhouse, so I have arranged decorations and plant pots so that the sensor is triggered strongly, close-up, and only for the forbidden area that lets them get to where they shouldn't. Once it's activated, my garden, potted plants, local chicken water dish, and an apple tree all get a little spritz. The mist and moist pavers at the door of the greenhouse also cools it a bit.
With this setup (of the guaranteed spray zone, but with a border that varies due to the desensitization feature and then spraying a wide area) it got the chickens to more-or-less keep a standoff distance from the greenhouse door when they are trying to rush me for treats, and then one of them sets it off and they all fall back for just long enough for the sensor to open up again.
Oh, and I think I paid only $10 more for this one now than the cheap ones were 12 years ago, so the price has come down overall when you consider inflation.

From the manufacturer
Humanely protects your trees, plants, flowerbeds, and veggie garden from uninvited guests such as deer, rabbits, squirrels, mice, rats, birds, cats, and dogs. Even if they’re a protected species.
Multiple Times of Day Options
Most critters are active at dawn/dusk and overnight; setting controls give you the option to have the motion detector sprinkler activate during the day, at night, or 24 hours a day for full-time protection from uninvited visitors. It can also be manually turned on and off.
Saves Water
The Yard Enforcer uses as little as two cups of water with each spray and the duration of the spray is adjustable. You can also enable a regular watering cycle and use the Yard Enforcer as a normal sprinkler when your yard or garden needs a drink.
More Accurate
The second generation lens offers more precise detection over a wider field of view with a more uniform 120-degree viewing angle to keep pests out of your yard or garden.
40' Observation Range
The infrared sensor can detect objects up to 40 feet away providing plenty of coverage for your yard and garden. The range is also adjustable if you want to be more precise with the area that you are protecting.
120 Degree Field of View
The Yard Enforcer has a 120-degree field of view to ensure that it can see pests approaching from many different angles with its infrared lens.
35' Spray Distance
The impact sprinkler has a 35' spray distance and makes a distinct noise as it activates to scare away pests with a combination of water noise and motion.
A loud blast of sound followed by a spray of water will startle but not harm wildlife and is a safe method to kindly deter them from spending any more time in your yard.

Herons and Egrets Be Gone - Koi Pond Usage - A Review and a Recipe for Success
As someone that owns a koi pond some predators are hard to get rid of. This device in conjunction with another simple and cost effective implement will relieve you of those beautiful, yet pesky invaders.First of all, the drawbacks of this device. If it faces the sun around a pond, it might discharge periodically with misfires. Just accept it and move the location accordingly. The product works as expected when you work intelligently within the environmental confines of which it is placed.Thus far, I have been using this product for the last 4 months and the heron and egret (yes we had two territorial attempts) have given up and left the pond alone. Durability wise, though plastic, has been outstanding at this point. The size was as described by the specifications and is spot on. I can’t speak to how well this product will work in two years, but right now, it has saved me thousands of dollars in replacement koi fish, so it is worth it.Now for the recipe. This product alone, though instrumental, will not be enough to stop a heron. You must put another deterrent or deterrents around the location you wish to protect. In my case, it was setting pots, with 3 foot tall bamboo sticks around the entire perimeter of the pond and tying fishing line at 12” and 24”. The fishing line should be at minimum of 12” away from the edge of the water if possible. This will keep the herons and egrets unable to attack from the edge of the pond.The implementation of this device is to ensure that the herons and egrets cannot also attack from any center areas or approaches to the pond. It will discourage them. This also keeps the raccoons and other predators away.Best of luck.
