Well we have 1.2 acres so a electric fence would need to be pretty big and would catch a bunch of kids too.

AND we do have a 7-foot fence with electric at the top for our vegi garden need to put more on the bottom as the chip monks and Squirrells still get in.

I have trapped and moved the pests and shot some poisoned the mice used a spray that the deer hate the smell of put-up other types of fencing, chased them away yelling like a madman.

Man you name it we have tried it and we have spent like four hundred bucks a year just to keep these things at bay and that is the best you will ever do is reduce the damage the cause.

Even bought a high-powered pellet gun it does help with the small stuff as it takes em out.

We live in a neighborhood at the edge of some woods that have no homes, so all the pests live in there and come to the neighborhood from there.

SO while you can shoot a gun here because we are a township you can't shoot towards a house with a gun and that is kinda hard, you can't hear my pellet gun but then I shot a skunk at 3:00 in the morning and nobody hear it.

I was even right next to our bedroom outside.

People need to remember that many places are overrun with rats, monkeys and all kind of pests as they don't do something to keep the populations under control.
