Large Mammal Fencing
Animex wildlife fencing is designed and tested to control reptile, amphibian, and small mammal movement and exclude them from unwanted or dangerous areas. It optimizes natural behavior to encourage safe and fast movement away from the fence line and, unlike mesh fencing, inhibits climbing and entanglement. Animex fencing products can be applied to traditional fencing for larger mammals to aid their effectiveness and enhance their ability to control the movement of a wider range of species with a single fence.
The United States of America has over 3.9 million miles of road. The exact amount of wildlife fencing installed on these roads is unknown, but science has shown that fences can help to significantly reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and help keep habitats connected when combined with wildlife crossing structures. Although traditional fencing designs and materials are effective at controlling the movement of large mammals, they do not provide adequate exclusion for smaller animals, such as reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals.
After observing animal behavior from across the world as part of various scientific studies, we have learned that solid barriers are proven to be highly effective for excluding a wide range of animals from dangerous areas and reducing negative interaction with fences (e.g. climbing, digging, entanglement and pacing). This observed behavior is believed to be due to the sensory barrier the solid material provides. As animals can no longer see through the fence, they are discouraged from lingering and interacting with it, naturally moving along the fence towards safe crossing structures or away into adjacent habitats.
Animex’s most popular wildlife exclusion fencing products can be attached to traditional fencing for large mammals to improve protection for people and wildlife. The same barriers can also be attached to any roadside barrier such as chain-link, livestock or guardrail to achieve the same effect.
We have prepared a unique guide that demonstrates how typical fencing for wildlife on highways can be enhanced to better protect people and wildlife.
