AquaForte Garden Sniper Protector – Motion‑Activated Pond Guardian

The AquaForte Garden Sniper Protector is a motion‑activated sprinkler designed to guard ponds and gardens by startling unwelcome animals with a sudden burst of water. Ideal for protecting fish, it delivers reliable defence up to 10 m without harming wildlife.

Key Features:

  • Motion‑sensing deterrent: Triggers a 3‑second water spray to scare off herons, cats and foxes

  • Adjustable detection range: Senses movement up to approximately 10 m (length) × 14 m (width)

  • Water‑pump connection: Attaches to standard garden hose for convenient supply

  • Battery‑powered operation: Runs on 2×AA batteries (not included) for easy setup

  • Customisable spray angle and sensitivity: Adaptable to different pond setups and wildlife

  • Animal‑friendly design: Harmless yet effective, protecting fish without causing harm

Product Description:

Protect your aquatic environment with the AquaForte Garden Sniper Protector, a clean and humane solution to predation around ponds. The integrated PIR sensor detects approaching animals based on body heat, triggering a powerful water jet that frightens off intruders like herons, cats, rabbits and more.

Designed for flexibility, this protector connects to any standard garden hose and is powered by two AA batteries, giving you freedom from cords and mains electricity. Users can fine‑tune the sensitivity, spray distance and arc to suit garden layouts and wildlife activity. After each spray, the unit resets after approximately 8 seconds, ensuring consistent vigilance without unnecessary water usage.

Robust and weather-resistant, the Garden Sniper is perfect for garden ponds, outdoor water features or vegetable patches that attract wildlife. It offers a practical, low‑maintenance alternative to nets or electric fencing — environmentally sensitive, effective, and easy to install.
