I am very concerned that if I don't do it perfectly, that it will result in the unimaginable. 2. Has anybody ever used a Scarecrow (or two) and still had issues with the Heron? Are these an effective way of fighting this predator? Thanks in advance! Chris

HOW ABOUT TRYING THE WATER SPRAYER WITH AN EYE MOTION DETECTOR ANY PREDITOR GETS WITHIN SO MANY FEET GETS A BLAST OF WATER, THESE ARE ALSO USED TO KEEP PEST OUT OF GARDENS, THEY ARE AROUND $60.00 TO $75.00 RANGE.
