Lizard Fencing

Animex wildlife fencing is designed and tested to control lizard movement and exclude them from unwanted or dangerous areas. It optimizes natural lizard behavior to encourage safe and fast movement away from the fence line and, unlike mesh fencing, inhibits climbing and entanglement.

Controlling lizard movement

Poorly fenced construction sites pose risks to lizards, which may become trapped in trenches, pipework, or machinery. In the United States, 18% of lizard species are considered at high risk of road-kill. Lizards are especially vulnerable because they move slowly, are hard for drivers to see, and are drawn to the heat-retaining surfaces of roads and development sites.

Planning engineers must work to reduce these impacts. Well-designed exclusion fencing, used with measures such as tunnels, can lower mortality on roads and construction sites without disrupting natural life cycles. Fencing also supports population assessments before new development begins.
