What is Wildlife Fencing?
Wildlife fencing is a barrier that prevents animals from entering or leaving specific areas. It is an effective solution for your safety, protecting crops, livestock, and infrastructure. It also ensures the safety of wildlife, maintains ecological balance, and reduces human-wildlife interactions.
Why is Electric Fencing Used in Wildlife Fencing?
Electric fencing is a physiological barrier that delivers a memorable, safe, and effective shock to deter even the most dominant predator. The animal's first encounter with an electric fence should be memorable enough to deter the most motivated predator and allow them to leave the location safely.
Benefits of Wildlife Fencing
- ✔ Protects Property – Keeps wildlife away from agricultural fields, gardens, and residential areas.
- ✔ Reduces Human-Wildlife Conflicts – Vehicle collisions, safety and property damage.
- ✔ Increase Biosecurity – Reduce or minimize the spread of disease.
- ✔ Reduces Habituation – Prevent access to human food and allow the animal to stay wary of humans.
- ✔ Long-Term Cost Savings – Reduce the damage to crops, livestock, capital infrastructure and the need for other deterrent methods.
Types of Wildlife Fencing
- Wildlife High Fencing – A tall, sturdy mesh physical barrier on wood or steel posts that prevents wildlife from entering or exiting a specific area.
- Small Animal Fencing – Mesh or buried fencing designed to keep rabbits, rodents, and other small creatures out, usually incorporated into barrier fencing.
- Predator-Proof Fencing – Electric or reinforced existing fencing to protect livestock from bears, wolves, cougars, coyotes, and other predators.
