A device for deterring entry of animals within an area is disclosed. The device may include a sprinkler for providing a fluid spray pattern to an area and a sprinkler valve having at least an open and closed state. A signal-transmitting component may be in electrical communication with the sprinkler valve. A motion sensor may be in electrical communication with the signal-transmitting component and a light sensor may be in electrical communication with the signal-transmitting component. The signal-transmitting component may comprise logic circuitry configured to transmit an open valve signal based on signals received from the motion sensor and the light sensor.
