Animal repellent for problem visitors in the garden - Dave's MASTERS Method

MASTERS - Multi-Aspect Sensory-Targeted Enemy Response System. Having a problem with deer or other unwelcome animals turning your "red gold" into brown gold? Fences a bit unsightly? Here's a deer (or any animal) repellent technique for the backyard garden using a motion-activated water sprinkler ( I bought it on amazon), along with a homemade piece, a couple of pie plates with a bar of Irish Spring soap inside to serve up a nasty dose of sound (sprinkler and drum sound from water hitting pie pans), sight (the water spout and the wobbling, spinning pie pans with a scary face sporting fangs), smell (irish spring soap), taste (irish spring soap) and touch (water spray).

This allows the attacker (you!) to hit on all of the intruder's senses at once. An overwhelming display of force. The proverbial "Shock and Awe".

Message to intruder: You are not welcome here!

The sprinkler works like it is supposed to, and the pie plates add another angle to trying to get a handle on problem animals. Water enters into the holes I made for the "eyes" on the pie pans. It drips over the soap and exits throungh a little hole on the bottom of the pie pans. After the sprinkler goes off, you can definitely see and smell soapy water dripping from the bottom of the pie pans. Some of the diluted soapy water may get sprayed on the enemy as it drips out the bottom of the pie pans during an event., whicjh is a beautiful thing. The plants emerge completely untainted.

This method is much easier than periodic application of scent deterrents. I also believe it is less expensive than some of the commercial scents over the long haul The only real expense is the motion-activated sprinkler, which I've seen for as little as $40.

How's this been working for you?

I posted a results video today. It was a very good year for keeping deer away. I ended up not putting all my eggs in one basket, but the motion activated sprinker was the backbone of my defenses.

@RDLONG30 you hit the nail on the head mate, I shoot cats with my paintballgun

[kaduisaui]

Excellent video. Thanks for posting your methods. Have you worked a defense against underground rodents? I have not. ... yet

[RDLONG30]

ALSO PELLET/BB GUN OR PAINT BALL GUN, FOR OWNER OF THOSE F**CKING CATS, KEEP THEM IN YOUR OWN YARD , TAKE RESPONSABILITY FOR YOUR F**CKING NUISANCE OF AN ANIMAL.

THAT GOES S#*TING AND PISSING EVERYWHERE, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF SO OTHER ANIMAL DID THAT ALL OVER YOUR HOME

@MzTJones80 Drag it in the house after you've shot it and say you were defending yourself!

I would be nice, but I can't spend the $60, I try to keep my garden costs as low as possible.

[MzTJones80]

Well, a lady here bashed a deer in the head with a shovel and killed it because it was in her garden. I can understand the frustration of having hard work and money put into something only for it to be eaten by uninvited critters. They want to charge this woman with a crime, but I figure, if I can shoot a crackhead for trespassing, why can't I shoot a deer for doing the same?

[zoomerlawns]

Does it keep out zombies? I didn't hear you mention that.

[llib90630]

nice.

only advice would be... to use HD re-enforced garden hose
