Before you purchase this, understand that you're going to have to put some work into using it. The "alligator" is a 1/2" to 3/4" poured styrofoam shell with a tiny o-ring screwed into the underside. There is no way this thing will last very long on it's own. Piece of junk. To remedy this, I cut leftover pieces of closed cell packing styrofoam into the correct sizes/shapes to fit inside the shell. I then cut some 3/4" metal strapping to fit around them, then siliconed them all in place. I also bought a 5" X 5/16" galvanized eyebolt, drilled a hole thru the gator and foam, and used large flay washer to keep it from harming the foam. I then filled in all the empty spaces and crevices underneath with window and door foam from a can, then topped it all off with more silicone. Works great now. If you're willing to spend the time and another $30 in supplies to make it work. Otherwise you're just throwing money away. The pics are before I added to spray foam and silicone underneath and hit the bolt/nuts on top with black spray paint.

I purchased this to stop racoons from defecating on the shelf in our in-ground pool. It looks very realistic. The only con is the sticker eyes are coming off already (been about a month), and they aren’t reflective. I think if they were reflective it would be even better. However, it does work for us as is. I was concerned that just the head wouldn’t be enough, but bc it is so large, it does the trick to scare them away. There is a hook on the bottom of the head where you could attach it to something if you wanted. I would definitely buy this again.

Bought it to deter the birds from my fishing dugout. It is extremely light but made of some sort of foam. We like it a lot! Works for what we wanted it for.

It’s been almost 3 weeks since Cameron, the upscale suburban raccoon has used our pool as a latrine. I don’t know for certain that his name is Cameron but I do know that the poop in the pool stopped with the arrival of Crocky. (No, it’s not a very original name). I was emotionally attached within 5 minutes of the decoys arrival and we are well pleased with his performance of deterring pool pooping!! We did attach a little fishing line and a weight to keep him in the target zone. Highly recommended

This is a very realistic gator head. I actually bought it to keep the ducks and racoons out of my pool and it has worked great. The eyes do need improvement since are just red stick-on stickers. I do feel that it was too much money but I wanted it due to the size and it is very noticeable. It has solved my problem so I guess that it was money well spent.

Most of these decoys when you look at the dimensions are quite small. This is about twice as large as most listed on Amazon. It is also twice the price. It is fairly realistic other than the red devil eyes. Our dogs do a double take. However, unlike an earlier one I had, the underneath is not flat but hollowed out with an eye hook inside as if you were going to mount it as a trophy or tie fishing string to drag it along. It floats alright. Overall happy with the purchase.

This gator head is AWESOMELY realistic! We wanted it for our pond for fun, and we wanted it to look real. It's a riot fooling people, and we just enjoy watching it floating around. Not sure it would scare birds, if that's your purpose, our wild ducks weren't bothered by it. Like others have mentioned, the red eyes are reflective stickers peeling off when the head comes out of the box, but we didn't care about red eyes either and so we threw them away before it went in the water. If you're looking for a realistic gator to create interest in a pond or body of water, this head is for you. We let it just float around free, going where the wind blows it, but it does have a little hook on the underside that you could use to anchor it. It never blows all the way to shore, it just wanders around the pond, natural looking, we love it.

I’m hopeful this may help in keeping the ducks out of the pool. It’s a bit misleading the eyes don’t really glow they are just a sticker. I can see that the sticker will fall off With’in weeks due to elements. Overall it’s made well but they should have spent more time on the eyes.

My children and I purchased this for my husband who thinks crocs and gators are so cool. I read the reviews and agreed that the red eyes looked very unrealistic. My daughter removed the red stickers on the eyes and painted the eyes a darker color. We put it in our pond and named it Charlie. It honestly looks so real, it’s almost unbelievable. We have cattails and reeds and it just floats around the pond. People spot it and ask if it’s real. We had a bullfrog sitting, floating on the gator last week. I will say that it doesn’t work (in our area of Tennessee) in regards to deterring Great Blue Herons. The Herons still land in our pond and fish. All in all, it a great conversation piece. It’s also become a family activity to walk to the pond and find out where “Charlie” the gator is in pond. He is always in a different place.

It did not help with scaring ducks away, my hopes were not great about this repelling impact but still gave a try thinking at least it could be I would worth to keep it as a fun/decorative floating figure inside the pool but the paint started to disappear only within a few days. Photos show the status of the areas paint coming off after 2 weeks. Not sure I would want kids touching/playing with this in the pool if the paint is dissolving like that. For the comparatively quite high price tag, I don’t think it provides the quality value for the money.

It arrived on time. I would agree that the eyes are not too realistic. Bright red stickers, but overall the product is great. sturdy and solid.
