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.
Excluding mammals
The United States has over 3.9 million miles of road, but the extent of wildlife fencing is unknown. Research shows that fencing, especially when combined with crossing structures, can reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and maintain habitat connectivity. Traditional fencing works for large mammals but is ineffective for reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals.
Studies worldwide show that solid barriers are highly effective, preventing animals from climbing, digging, or becoming entangled. Because animals cannot see through them, they are less likely to linger and instead move toward safe crossings or adjacent habitats.
Animex wildlife exclusion fencing can be attached to traditional fencing for large mammals or to roadside barriers such as chain-link, livestock, or guardrails to provide added protection for both people and wildlife.
We have prepared a unique guide that demonstrates how typical fencing for wildlife on highways can be enhanced to better protect people and wildlife.
