Vet Says Wireless Deer Fence Really Works
“I’ve tried a lot of ways to keep deer out of my green beans - all of which failed. I found out about The Wireless Deer Fence® this year, and it has worked great - no deer,” says Dr. James Brester DVM. The Nashville, Ind., veterinarian learned about it when vaccinating a client’s pigs this spring.
    The fence, featured in FARM SHOW (Vol. 25, Issue 6) was developed by another Indiana veterinarian, Dr. Keith Betzen DVM, and is actually a series of posts placed up to 25 ft. apart. The 19-in. UV-stabilized poly posts hold scent tubes with sweet oil that attract deer. When they touch it, the deer get a shock from the electrodes and charging circuit powered by two AA batteries that last one season. The small amount of current doesn’t cause any harm to animals (or humans), but the negative reinforcement prevents deer from coming back.
    Brester placed six posts around his garden and only saw one deer track in his garden this summer. He stepped up the timeline of changing the scent tubes every two weeks instead of a month and hasn’t seen any more tracks.
    “Rain doesn’t affect it,” he says. “I really have been pleased. I wish I would have discovered this sooner.”
    The Wireless Deer Fence is sold online (ph 805 486-8225; www.gopherhawk.com.com) in sets of three posts with a year supply’s of attractant for $59.95 plus postage. The fence has a 2-year guarantee.
