Keeping Animals Out With The Havahart 5265 Spray Away Motion Activated Water Repellent

There are many ways to repel pesky wild animals that are destroying your property. You can set up traps to capture them and re-release them into the wild far from your home. You can use an EPA-recommended animal repellant spray around the perimeter to leave a scent that is imperceptible to humans but a clear “Keep Out” message to animals.

Or you can use the Havahart 5265 Spray Away Motion Activated Water Repellent, which uses water to condition animals to avoid this displeasing experience of walking onto your lawn.

Consumers say the Havahart 5265 Spray Away Motion Activated Water Repellent has been very beneficial to a variety of situations. One man says roving gangs of raccoons were tearing up his sod all night long.

“I have not even seen a raccoon lately,” the buyer writes. Another man was tired of his neighbor’s dogs running through the neighborhood, leaving four to five piles of droppings in his yard constantly. “It works perfectly for my needs,” he admits. A third man was losing all his hibiscus trees to hungry deer.

He says, “It is noisy enough and sensitive enough to really work. In two weeks both trees now have good size leaves.” Consumers say that compared to other types of deterrents, the Havahart Water Repellent is odor-free, does not require reapplication every time it rains like the powders or sprays and lasts for months on one 9-volt battery.

Several people were dissatisfied with the quality of the Havahart 5265 Spray Away Motion Activated Water Repellent, admitting some frustration putting the parts together, connecting it to the hose or getting it to work as advertised.

They feel for such a high price, they should have a product that is easy to assemble and works great every time. Some consumers report that raccoons and geese actually seem to like their “baths” in the Havahart and that the motion sensor is better at detecting people than small cats.
The ideal use for this product seems to be for large, hungry, skittish deer.
