Have a problem with bears getting into my garbage. Been thinking of running wire around my garbage cans. Wonder if it would keep the bear out

We do not recommend any of our chargers to deter bears. When touching a fence, they may become angry and violent. We apologize for any inconvenience.

i bought this to start with for hog and it keeps them in. but i got parmak 5 it is for bear and large game. I havent had to use the parmak yet. I say its $29 give it a try if it doesnt your not losing much. it isnt nice to be shocked by the fishock 10 ace and dont think a bear will let it continue to shock them trying to get in. it is a continuous unit so it is a steady shock. it is low impedance.

Would this be good to use along with the wire on top of fences to keep destructive rude neighbors cats out?

I don't this one has enough juice to deter them for long. I hv touched it and it's very mild for me.

It may not work...it is like a normal wire suet holder with all the holes and a block of suet fits right in. It is really well constructed....a bear knocked mine down and didn't damage it or get the suet block.

Hi, I do not know about dogs. We have garbage cans. We were having a huge problem with squirrels and mice. They had no problem getting into the cans and tearing open other bags. Garbage all over. The problem has been solved with these bags.

I have no idea what you are asking. I use my can for keeping chicken feed and unusually adept predators; namely raccoons, OUT. It works.

I would say No. I don't have chipmunks here but the spaces between the wires are large enough for chipmunks to go thru. If you want to keep chipmunks out you might have to use something like chicken wire.

I use it to keep iguanas out of my garden tower. As long as you wire it up according to the instructions I don't see why it won't work. The fence has defiantly deterred the iguanas from getting thru.

Dear Maurice Put in on a large piece of cardboard box from the supermarket. If the unit is exposed to damp - say in the woodshed it will arc but it should be dry in your loft. the only consequence of arcing is discharging the batteries quickly. We are on top of a problem now, but our solution with vermin was multifaceted and it is now all under control. Cheese as bait works much better than peanut butter. Replace a 1 cm sq 3mm tall slice each week. the flatter it is, the harder it will be to lift off without touching the plate.

Mine gets cold enough to keep frozen foods that are put into it frozen for a few days. Living off grid, I got tired of throwing things out from using a cooler with ice. The porta gaz works very well and I haven't had to throw anything out. It was recently attacked by a 500 pound bear too! Thrown on the ground. Still works like gem. Would recommend it.

Bear--absolutely not! Bears can rip locked car doors off. For opossum and raccoon, you can put a large cotter pin or padlock through the eye of the latch mechanism. I live in Wyoming, where we have lots of bears, even in town, and have a kid that did bear research for a master's thesis, so am somewhat familiar with what will hold up to bears. No, it won't hold up to a bear.

That is an interesting question. I've had mine outside, and never had problems with animals - but we don't have Raccoons. If this were a problem, you could weight down the lid without any impact to the system. Also, I cut a piece of old carpet the exact diameter of the inside and kept the top (active) layer covered. This kept down problems with white flies, seemed to help keep the moisture in and sped up the composting. I would think it would also reduce any odors that might attract racoons. Just feed the can-o-worms at a steady rate, and the worms will multiply to the right number to keep up. Then there is hardly any odor, and the compost gets quickly devoured.

I haven't had a problem, my bird feeders hang from the soffits of my roof overhang. I do this to keep the squirrels and raccoons from getting at them.

To keep raccoons, squirrels, and the like out of my garden I ran one wire abut 4-6" from the ground, hoping it might shock them if they crawled under or over it, another wire at about knee height, and a top wire at about hip height, with foil strips about a foot long, folded in half, filled with peanut butter in the crease, and wrapped over the top wire. The theory was that deer love peanut butter and go for it, resulting with a shock on their nose. I had no trouble with deer after that, and the lower wires did the job for the smaller pests. I agree that for chickens you'd either have to take the wire higher or clip one wing so that if they tried to fly, they'd just go in circles.

The reason I ask, gave 2 for Xmas gifts, raccoons took 1 side/wire as it was not secured. Pain in a__ to have to send back but wondered about warranty, which I think should cover this, would be happy with replace wire BUT they don't make it easy for direct contact w/ Birds Choice.

I wish they would answer this question. All of my outdoor houses have a second opening. I like this but would be worried if my cat was trapped so I will skip this product. We have racoons here and they can get into any space so be trapped by a predator is a real concern.

I would think if it keeps cats away, (very well I might add), it would keep rabbits away. Not Positive but it is logical.You may have to turn up to max output which is a lot because my neighbors complained it woke them up, so I turned it down a bit.

If a rabbit wanted something on the other side of this stuff, they'd be through it in seconds. If your main concern is keeping rabbits at bay, you really need to go with something metal (chicken wire, etc.).

I haven't had this problem but wiht the wire mesh, you could run a wire around the mesh and to the hanger on each side. I think that would keep a crafty squirrel out!
