ScareCrow from Contech keeps animals out with a wide spray, too wide, and that would prevent my cats from enjoying their own yard. I just need to route the sprinklers around the perimetry of the wooden privacy fence so when the motion sensor(s) detect them approaching the fence they will get dowsed at about 3 to 4 ft in from the fence and go back into the yard and stay home. I have contacted irrigation companies here in San Antonio but no reply yet on the motion-sensory activated part of what I want, just the sprinkler/irrigation part. I have seen motion sensors that turn on lights, open garage doors, close curtains, but other than ScareCrow I have not seen any information about tripping a sprinkler system. I have even thought about the produce section misting systems that come on intermittently. Any ideas would be very welcome.I need to design/install a motion-sensor sprinkler system to keep my cats in their own backyard. Ideas?Only way I can see of doing this is to get a motion detection light fixture and wire the sprinkler solenoid for that zone to the electrical (light portion) of the detector.I need to design/install a motion-sensor sprinkler system to keep my cats in their own backyard. Ideas?Why not try a battery operated electric fence. The shock is so minimal you barely feel it. It does however make dogs and cats think twice about going in these designated "off" areas. Plus - after a week or so the fence does not even have to be on.I need to design/install a motion-sensor sprinkler system to keep my cats in their own backyard.

It is exactly what you want, motion activated rotor-type sprinkler. 70 bucks! Heeeere kitty kitty....I need to design/install a motion-sensor sprinkler system to keep my cats in their own backyard. Ideas?
sounds like a large waste of water.
Every bird or squirrel or anything else will set it off. The sprinklers will be going just about all the time.
