How does Mr. McGregors Fence work?
Our fence is very simple. In concept it’s not a barrier fence at all but rather an electric fence. Remember the little pet-safe, child-safe fence charger systems sold to contain dogs in backyard enclosures before the invisible dog fences came along? Our fence is like that. But if you try to keep woodchucks out of vegetable gardens that way, using one or two charged wires, it won’t work-because the woodchuck is pretty well insulated by its fur; and so, if it doesn’t hit the wire with its nose or paw, it’s likely to trundle right on through, get no zap at all, and go right into your garden. However, if you put a low barrier fence a few inches behind the charged wire, then the woodchuck or other small interloper will come into contact with the electric wire when it tries to go over the high wire or under the low wire. It will get zapped and it will go away. That’s what Mr. McGregor’s Fence does, and it works 100 per cent effectively every time.
