Everyone,
Last year,in just about 5 days, the ground hogs detroyed my 100 sq ft
garden plot that had a 3 foot fence surrounding it. They climbed up
the fence and went right over it. Bascially I have a 50 foot length of
fence, 3 foot tall, made into a rectagnular shape.
I'm thinking I need to electrify this fence to keep the ground hogs
out. Does anyone here have a recommendation on what kit
to get and where to buy it?
How are the battery operated units as oppsoed to AC powered?
How often would I need to re-charge the battery?
I'm thinking I need the Electric Energizer, some wire, and
some stand-off/insulators. I can't seem to find a kit online.
Do they actually work for keeping ground hogs out?
How about squirels?

How about a high powered air rifle?
