Pestrol Solar Water Animal Repeller
Verified2 reviews
OK product needs a better stand – Seems to work OK but agree with previous reviewer that the little spike stand provided is somewhat of a letdown as the unit is heavy for it and once water pressure is added it fails so the unit lays over onto the ground making it useless. The height off the ground is way too low also and I fixed mine to a sprinkler tripod stand to get a much better range and to get the jet of water up to the height I required on the roses.
Purchased in for $129.

Great product that works well. Even caught me out a few times. Got a bit wet! Cheers Nick.
Thanks mate, sounds like you will have fun this summer.
Works great but – This works fine. However the design is rubbish. A small spike into the ground. A heavy solar and sprinkler unit at the top. Plus the force of the sprinkler pushing the pole over. The spike will not go into clay soil and I'd hate to try and make it stand up in soil the spike could go into. I have mine cable tied to a star picket I use for gardening. When used this way the product is great.
Thanks Darren for your review. We will certainly be taking your feedback on board and approaching our manufacturer with some points that we also believe can help improve the unit. Thanks again!
I have just learnt there is a new design for this product that may fix some of the issues I mentioned. I cannot find it online but have seen it in a catalogue.

Nick, great advice, we did recently change to a stronger metal spike to improve, however, I believe we can make some further improvements. I hope you don't mind, but I will use this picture and send it through to our team and look at making changes for the future. If we can help you any further, please let us know. Pestrol Team
