The Wireless Deer Fence® deer repellent creates an effective psychological barrier for deer around your yard and garden. Once a deer touches a Wireless Deer Fence® post, it is instantly and permanently trained to avoid the area.
The Wireless Deer Fence® deer repellent manipulates the instinctual behaviors of deer:
Deer are browsers.
They use their noses to investigate. When they encounter a Wireless Deer Fence® deer repellent post,
the sweet scent entices them to touch it, and they are shocked on the nose.
Deer have an excellent sense of smell.
Smell is the most basic of the senses, and deer rely on it for their safety and livelihood
more than any other sense. After a single contact with a Wireless Deer Fence® deer control system post, a
deer thereafter associates the discomfort of the shock, not only with the area, but also
with the smell of the particular mixture of artificial scents used on the device. It will not
return to the area when it smells the devices.
Deer have good memories.
They do not forget an area where they have been hurt. One contact with the Wireless
Deer Fence® deer deterrent is a learning experience the deer will always remember.
Deer are skittish animals.
They rely on flight and avoidance for their safety. Fear is a powerful motivator for deer,
and they immediately learn to avoid an area where they have been shocked.
Deer are creatures of habit.
They live in a specific area with set paths that they travel. When a deer has been shocked
by the Wireless Deer Fence® deer deterrent it redefines its living area and changes the paths that it
travels to avoid the area where it has been hurt.
Deer are herd animals.
When one deer is shocked, the violent reaction startles other nearby deer, and they are
also frightened from the area. When one deer is afraid to return to an area, other deer will
also be reluctant to enter. Fawns are dependent and learn from does. If a doe has been
trained by a contact with the Wireless Deer Fence® deer deterrent and is afraid to enter an area, the
fawns that are with them will also learn to avoid the area. The learning by association is
temporary, and in many cases, each deer will have to be trained on its own.
Initially, some damage may occur even with the Wireless Deer Fence® deer control system in place. When a new untrained deer comes into an area, it may browse some plants before finding and contacting one of the devices. Sometimes a deer won't touch a post right away because the posts are strange objects and they smell like humans. The training period damage is kept to a minimum by using the proper number of devices and properly placing the devices around deer entrances to the protected area and around the plants that deer like. In areas that are over-run with deer, more devices should be used, and they should be placed closer together. Do not remove existing deer barriers for a while to give the Wireless Deer Fence® deer control system time to work.
Where possible, put the Wireless Deer Fence® deer repellent posts out before planting.
Additionally, you can protect the plants that are deer favorites by using a deterrent spray on a temporary basis until the local deer are trained.
Except in areas of very heavy snow, you can use the Wireless Deer Fence® deer repellent all year to train any new deer that come into your area.
The Wireless Deer Fence® deer deterrent has also been shown to be effective for keeping moose away.
The Wireless Deer Fence® deer control system could be discharged by heavy rain, ice, and snow. The posts will automatically recharge when they dry out a bit. Fortunately, deer are less active during periods of rain or snow, and they feed less during these times. Also, the deer that have already been trained by the Wireless Deer Fence® deer repellent will still avoid the area, so it is better to train the deer before the snow falls.
To be effective in the winter, the Wireless Deer Fence® deer repellent should be kept clear of snow and ice, but it will not harm the Wireless Deer Fence® deer control system to be buried under snow and ice, and it will not shorten the battery life.
The Wireless Deer Fence® deer control system has proven to be effective in most applications, but in a small percentage of cases it has not provided satisfactory deer control. The Wireless Deer Fence® deer deterrent functions to train unpredictable wild animals. The following list of causes of failure is based on customer feedback since 2000 and field testing since 1996. Knowing how this product works and understanding its limitations may help you avoid failure. Many of the causes of failure can be changed or avoided.
Expecting too much or using too few posts.
You cannot expect three Wireless Deer Fence® deer deterrent posts to provide complete and immediate
protection for a large area. If you are only using a few posts you will have better results
if you put them in a smaller area and closer together. The object is to put a post wherever
you think a deer will find it. Deer are browsers and do not go to an attractant from a long
distance. They have to come across the posts in their wanderings. So if you have three posts
placed 25 feet apart, there is a large chance that some deer will go between them without
finding a post.
You may not have immediate results.
The deer have to find a post and touch it. This does not always happen right away. Be
patient during the training period. When given time to work, this product has provided
satisfactory deer control in a high percentage of applications.
Each deer has to be trained.
When a deer in a group is shocked, all the deer will run away. Later, the deer that have
not been shocked may return and will have to be trained by touching a post themselves.
New deer.
Even after all the local deer are trained, new deer will come into your area, and they may
browse a bit before they find a post.
Starving or extremely thirsty deer.
A tall, sturdy fence is the only deer repellent that will keep out starving deer or keep deer
away from their only water source.
Contact failure.
Deer may touch a post without making good electrical contact, but they usually try again.
Improper positioning.
The Wireless Deer Fence® deer deterrent does not work like other fences because in addition to putting
the posts around the perimeter, you must also position posts in the interior of the area.
Then deer that may wander past the perimeter posts will still have a chance to find a post.
Position the posts prominently so the deer will find them.
Lack of maintenance.
The posts must be tested to be sure they have a spark. The attractant must be replaced
as directed. The posts should not be overgrown with vegetation and must be kept free of
cobwebs, leaves, debris, snow, and ice. The posts must be kept upright.
Tracks nearby posts.
If tracks and damage are seen beside a post, it doesn't necessarily mean that the post has
not worked. The last thing that the deer touched may have been the post, in which case
the deer won't be back.
Post knocked over.
A post knocked over doesn't mean that it has not worked. Deer sometimes knock them
over when they are shocked.
Established feeding areas for deer.
If the deer are used to feeding on certain foods in an area, they may ignore the posts at
first in favor of what they are used to eating. They usually touch a post eventually and
become trained.
Existing damage and damage due to other animals.
Carefully note existing damage when positioning posts. Sometimes new damage is
caused by rabbits, groundhogs, or other animals.
Water in battery case.
If you find water in the battery case, the case has probably not been assembled
completely. Be sure to push the two halves of the case together until they are fully seated.
