JACKSON, Wyo. — Looking to protect your garden, compost piles and other attractants in bear country?
Teton Rental has just acquired the Gallagher Electric Fence Dealership that will do just that.
A properly constructed electric fence is safe for people and pets and has proven to be effective at deterring bears from apiaries (beehives), fruit trees, gardens, livestock pens, rabbit hutches, garbage containers, dog kennels, chicken coops, compost piles, storage sheds, along with numerous other attractants. There are an abundant variety of applications and fencing designs for deterring bears. Design, construction and proper maintenance will determine the effectiveness of your electric fence.
When an animal touches an electrified wire and the ground simultaneously, the electricity passes through the animal, into the soil, to the ground rod and back to the energizer. The electrical circuit is then completed and the animal receives a full shock.
