rodent infestation

[Scott Danforth]

A friend of mine used to be married to a radiologist. Some of the stuff placed in a bowel which she took pictures of would even make Elton John cringe.

please do NOT share the pictures.

Installed an invisible fence around the house and barn areas.

Between our Husky and a Tom cat, few critters dare venture inside the enclosed area. Body parts of those that do typically end up by the front steps or the garage door

My neighbor has one for his German shepherd.
I came home one day and it was sitting in my driveway looking towards his house. It turns out he chased a rabbit beyond the fence most likely on an adrenaline rush so it didn’t stop him but then he couldn’t get back home without getting zapped.

That's the inherent problem of invisible fence, especially with dogs that have a high prey drive. They ignore the zap on the way out chasing the critter, but won't go back into the fenced area. We have 2 wheaten terriers. We needed a physical fence.

that issue has been common for many people I know, including my hounds years ago. they would chase rabbits/deer/squirrels, run past the fence, then couldn't get back. even turning the collar up to max, the dog ran full tilt, yelped, did a somersault, and continued on chasing the rabbit, then sat there with a rabbit in her mouth wimpering to come back. 4 foot high fence needed for the dogs. one could clear it in here younger days.

I put an electric fence around the vegie garden to keep the dog off of it , cat learnt that the dog wouldn't chase him under that fence . I looks out the window one day .... cat on garden dog patrolling the fence , dog gets bored and wanders off , cat , full of himself struts off the garden , tail sticking straight up ( oh the anticipation ) and tip of tail touches fence just as it pulses .......... explosive acceleration , ginger fur hanging in the air where he was .

We have an underground fence. Have a little over an acre fenced. Over a 20 year span a few issues. Had one yellow lab that somehow got herself “ stuck” if that’s the right word right where the fence goes under the driveway. She was spinnning in circles yelping and crying getting zapped. Had to go drag her back. Had one Black lab that would chase deer right through it. One early morning he did that and chased the deer to the road. Both deer and dog dead, hit by car. Other than that our other dogs have respected it.
Neighbor has above ground electric wire around his chicken coup. Set low to ground Very shocking to the local foxes
