Repelling wild boar with electric fencing

Wild boars can damage your crops and infect your livestock with diseases such as swine fever. In the past 10 years, the population of wild boar has increased dramatically. Repelling wild boar is therefore becoming more important. Gallagher offers various solutions to repel wild boar. Boars and wild pigs are intelligent and strong animals: they can easily knock down a non-electric fence or push over fences with their noses. By choosing electric fence wire with sufficient voltage, this is a thing of the past. With this solution, you can protect your crops, garden and holiday home, among other things.
