Sureguard ScareCrow-360
Animal Control Guide
o
The Sureguard ScareCrow-360
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, but eventually 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
o
too quick to switch OFF the Sureguard ScareCrow-360
. You want to send a strong message if the
animal returns: "this deterrent is always here to protect".
Sureguard recommends:
1/ Using the Sentinel Blue Light, where possible.
2/ Leaving the device switched ON, even if the animal stops visiting.
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 Sentinal Light 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 may or may not be relevant. The Motion Sensor must be about the same height as the
possum and within at least one of the Motion Sensor's range. So if the possum is walking along a
fence, up a tree, climbing a building structure, etc., ensure the Sensor is at that height. If the possum is
at ground level, install it at ground level.
Rabbits: Leave the device active continually. Shorten the Support Post to get the appropriate height for
the Motion Sensor. If possible, use the Sentinel Light.
Rodents: Use the Night-Mode setting, and place in a dry location at ground level.
Wallabies and Kangaroos: Always have the Sentinel Light operating. Leave the device active
continually.
