Electric Fence: Garden Protection Repellant: Smoke Bomb: Ground Hog Traps: Doing Business with Us: |
About Our Electric Fence VEGETABLE GARDENERS: Are you tired or seeing your garden attacked yearly by ground hogs, raccoons, rabbits, squirrels, or other varmints? You can end this problem permanently with an electric fence product, Mr. McGregor’s Fence®, that is child-safe, pet-safe, 100% effective, convenient, and trouble-free. It is also affordable, costing no more than several live traps or a few gallons of repellant. One big advantage of this system is its permanence. Other control measures (traps, guns, smoke bombs, etc.) are only used after a garden or other target area has taken damage, and more damage may be done before the offending creatures are removed. In contrast, Mr. McGregor’s Fence® is always there. It happily withstands the winter, and after a few leaves are raked away it is ready for the Spring–long before the garden has been planted, at a time when most of your friendly neighborhood veggie-munchers are still asleep. Other big pluses are convenience and safety. Easily installed, the system consists of a barrier fence placed behind two very low charged wires (the barrier fence is not electrified). Any animal that finds the barrier fence and tries to climb or burrow under it will come into good contact with the charged wires, get zapped, and go home. The wires (4 inches and 8 inches off the ground) are so low that you the gardener are unlikely to get zapped unless you decide to weed around the fence without unplugging or turning off the fence charger first. If that happens you won't want to touch the wire again, but you certainly won't be hurt-because the system's energizers are designed to control small pets, and so they administer a zap that is convincing but too weak to even harm a sparrow. The system is commonly sold as a kit, which comes with clear installation instructions. However, you can also buy all of the necessary components separately. This is the right way to go if you already have a fence and so have no need of the barrier fence rolls and 27" posts included in the kits. More detailed information about this system and its components can be found at this website, www.mrmcgregorfence.com.
Electric Fence Kits & Accessories The basic 100-foot kit comes in either AC-powered, battery-powered or solar-powered versions. The AC-powered version includes an AC-powered electric fence energizer, an insulated cable to connect the charger to the fence, electric fence wire, fiberglass posts and clip-on insulators to hold the wire, mulch to keep weeds from growing up, a green poly-coated welded steel wire barrier fence, and posts to support the fence. The highly effective battery version (powered by two flashlight D batteries that last over two months) includes the battery-powered energizer with post, a two-foot ground rod, and everything in the AC-powered kit except the charger and insulated connecting cable. The solar version includes everything in the battery-powered except the battery-powered charger.The 50-foot mini kits come in either AC-powered or battery-powered versions. The whole system has been designed for reliability and permanence-with an eye to having it last as many years as your garden. We also offer 50-foot extender kits that includes everything you need to extend the system another 50, 100, 150, or 200 feet. (Since all the energizers can power up to a half-mile of system, you can extend the fence almost indefinitely.) Mr. McGregor's FenceŽ can be made proof against squirrels and small (immature) rabbits by reducing the mesh size so as to create a temporary obstacle to these critters. This can be accomplished by adding our squirrel barrier kit to the bottom of the main barrier fence, a job that can be done in 20 minutes. Accessories for Mr. McGregor’s Fence Mr. McGregor’s Fence® can be made impregnable to small critters (squirrels, young rabbits, chipmunks, etc.) by reducing the mesh size in a way that creates a temporary obstacle to these animals. This can be accomplished by adding our squirrel barrier to the bottom of the main barrier fence, a job that takes roughly 20 minutes. If your garden is separated from your nearest AC outlet by over 50 feet, you will need more insulated cable than comes with the AC-powered kit. This specialized cable is needed because the electric fence charger produces a charge with very little power but lots of volts–too many volts for an ordinary house current extension cord to contain.
