If you have a carefully curated lawn or a beautifully cultivated home garden, keeping pests out may be among your top concerns. There are many ways to keep pests out of your yard and garden, but one of the most effective methods is surrounding it with a secure fence. Here are some different fencing options that you can utilize to help keep raccoons, rats, squirrels, moles, and other pests away from your home and garden.
3 Common Fencing Options for Wildlife Control
- Electric Fencing – Popularly known for the minimal shock it provides to deter invasive animals, electric fencing is extremely effective at encouraging pests to stay far away from your property. That said, this measure is often seen as an extreme and inhumane method for wildlife control. If electric fencing sounds too intense for your property, there are several other fencing options you can choose from.
 - Solid Fencing – Solid fencing is likely what most imagine when picturing traditional fencing. This type of fencing will block the view of your yard and garden, which is its main defense against pests. That said, this fence type will also obstruct your view of anything beyond your yard and garden, which makes it undesirable to some. Furthermore, solid fencing is often easily scaled by agile and tenacious critters like raccoons, rats, and squirrels.
- Wire-Mesh Fencing – While a traditional chain-link fence will do little to keep unwanted wildlife off your property, adding mesh-wire fencing around your yard and garden can help protect your plants and produce from hungry critters. Such fencing, like chicken wire fencing, is designed with openings that are too small for larger pests to pass through.
