I use this fence to keep the dogs away from my chickens, I have hit the wire feeding and it gets your attention, its more of a pop that scares you cuz your not ready for it, it didn't really hurt. But if a young child walks into they will cry cuz it does scare more than hurt.

It delivers enough shock to deter animals but will not physically injure anyone that touches it. Kids will probably only make the mistake of touching it once. It delivers a pulse shock, not a constant shock. It will give anyone shocked a break to pull away.

You feel it, but even the dogs dont yelp out when shocked. The children will touch it once, and only once, but wont be injured.

I don't think there's any danger of injury. I've been shocked a few times by mine on accident, and it's like a really bad static shock. Just a quick pop. Works great with my dogs. They've completely stopping trying to dig out under my fence.

I have not had any issues with mine, but I do not set it where it can get damaged and I have no children here.

It would take some work, but nice idea. Just make sure it's out of reach of the child (obviously).

It is up to you....I really didn't like it because it has a chemical in it that they use in lice medicine. I used it on my roses a few times......didn't not like it...a hassle to spray on every week...with minimal results. I wouldn't spray it on my food. Never Never Never spray your edible veggie plants. Grows foods that have few pests in your area. Or use row covers and bush varieties etc.

We've had years of fun with this item, but always be sure the supplied ground stakes are secure -- esp with multiple or heavier kids. I agree with other two answers to your questions. Doubt I would ever have playground equipment without stuff to soften inevitable child impact -- materials you find at schools and parks. Sorry.

According to this website:http://web.extension.illinois.edu/blmp/news/news27553.htmlIt is perfectly safe for vegetable gardens. I used the product last year around my herb garden and everything came out fine.

I found no ill effects for myself. It was great. I got this insect repellent in several different forms. As for first hand use with children - none.

Hi Crystal, I can't see why it would not be good for kids. But, I think supervision would be wise.

Safety issue? yes very safe my child never chocked or touched it in anyway that made it hurt her.Effectiveness can't quiet answer this question since I bought it after most of her teeth were out. I hope that helped.

Everything I used it on got burned (in pots or in ground), and I'm afraid to use it. It killed 4 roses on me. The ones that didn't die went into shock and got stunted, and now its going to take 2 years to recover from that.

I'm not sure about this. We don't have this problem in our area. But these guys kept our garden pretty healthy.

It's safe for the plants. However, I think I would err on the side of caution and not use it when the berries are fruiting.

It is safe for people, pets, and plants according to the packaging. I've used it for two years to keep snakes off my porch have had no problems, but I'm no expert.

The label has a caution about using it on edible crops. As such, I wouldn't use it on a vegetable garden.

The tip has sharp pointy edges when opened so it can pierce into the top of the strawberry. I would say it's not safe for young children.

No, I do not know... This looks more like a question for the manufacturer itself. On second thoughts I would say the manufacturer should have printed "Keep out of the reach of Children" instead...
