Fencing helps animals move safely across landscapes by reducing barriers to migration and habitat access. Thoughtful fence designs protect ecosystems, prevent isolation, and lower the risk of wildlife mortality.
Wildlife Fencing & Connectivity
Your wildlife exclusion fence experts.
Keeping habitats connected, wildlife protected, and people safe since 2004.
Animex® wildlife exclusion fencing was developed in 2004 from our passion for safeguarding wildlife while supporting the environmental needs of growing industries. It is the only purpose-built wildlife fencing product designed specifically for reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals. Animex wildlife exclusion fencing is engineered to control animal movement and exclude wildlife from unwanted areas, such as roads and construction sites.
The unique features of our environmentally friendly, eco-fencing products have enabled contractors, engineers, project managers, farmers, and biologists to implement effective wildlife control measures on large-scale projects.

Improving Wildlife Fencing on Roads
While the exact extent of wildlife fencing installed along these roads is unknown, scientific research has shown that fencing can significantly reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and help maintain habitat connectivity—especially when combined with wildlife crossing structures. Although standard Department of Transportation (DOT) fencing designs and materials are effective at controlling the movement of large mammals, they are not adequate for excluding smaller animals such as reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals.
The same fencing can also be attached to any roadside structures, including chain-link fences, livestock fencing, and guardrails, to achieve the same level of protection.
Through global scientific studies and direct observation of animal behaviour, we have learned that solid barriers are highly effective at excluding a wide range of species from dangerous areas. They also reduce negative interactions with fences, such as climbing, digging, entanglement, and pacing.
The United States alone has over 3.9 million miles of road.
This effectiveness is believed to result from the sensory barrier that solid materials provide. When animals cannot see through a fence, they are less likely to linger or interact with it. Instead, they tend to move along the barrier toward safe crossing structures or return to adjacent habitats.
To address this need, we have developed a unique set of specifications and guidelines showing how Animex’s most popular wildlife exclusion fencing products can be attached to standard DOT woven wire fencing for large mammals, enhancing protection for both people and wildlife.
