CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 1 review)

Clear and concise  
No nonsense, practical-sounding ideas on dealing with rabbits, groundhog, woodchuck, birds, moles, deer, raccoons, opossum, squirrels, mice, skunks and slugs. Some ideas are time-honored and tested true; others I have no personal experience with. I DO know that electro-net fencing works well against almost every varmint listed above, except for birds, slugs and moles. Actually, it will also zap, even kill, a few birds, and once the rest of them get the word they DO seem to thin out a bit as time goes by. The electro-netting is available from Premier 1 Supplies. It costs, as of early '08, about $130 for a 164' roll. It also comes in a half roll of 82' and in various heights and configurations. You can spend a few bucks and get a solar/battery fence charger, or get a cheap little $30 model like I use, but it requires AC power. I recommend you get the newer model they have which has a step-in prong at the bottom of the posts. It makes installation a snap. I love the electro-netting and also recommend this little book for some very good advice. Good luck.
