Keeping out foxes
The fox is an omnivore and loves chickens, ducks and other poultry. The hunting fox climbs over and digs under fences. To keep foxes out, we recommend electric fencing, in combination with a Foxlight for optimum deterrence. The Foxlight keeps the foxes at bay. If foxes do get close, they are put off by the electric fence.
Many people opt for a traditional fence with mesh or wood, and think they can keep the fox out like this. But that is usually not the case. The fox is cunning, and if it is hungry, it will do everything it can to get to its tasty snack, including climbing and digging. If you really want an efficient fence to keep the fox out, there is only 1 solution: an electric fence. After the first contact with this fence, the fox will avoid it. A fox doesn’t hit the same grid twice. You have created a psychological barrier between your animals and the fox.
An electric fence:
- is in most cases easy to install yourself
- is very effective against foxes
- is 50% cheaper than a traditional fence
