1. Apparatus for retrofitting automatic irrigation systems for animal and human deterrent control, wherein said automatic irrigation system comprises at least one sprinkler, at least one solenoid valve in operative communication with said at least one sprinkler and at least one low voltage AC powered programmable sprinkler control timer having a pre-programmed watering schedule in operative communication with said at least one solenoid valve, wherein said apparatus comprises:

  • a. At least one motion detector for placement within a bordered zone monitored for trespassers, said at least one motion detector adapted to detect a body entering said bordered zone and generate an RF trespasser signal, the at least one motion detector further adapted to transmit said RF trespasser signal with a unique ID adapted for distinguishing the trespasser signal from other control signals to;

    b. a programmable control receiver module adapted to receive the RF trespasser signal with said unique ID, wherein said programmable control receiver module is in controlling communication with said at least one solenoid control valve;

    so that,c. when the RF trespasser signal is received by the programmable control receive module an open valve signal is transmitted to the at least one solenoid valve for a predetermined amount of time thereby spraying said body with water and deterring its movement into the bordered zone.
