Mr. McGregor Finally Outsmarts Peter Rabbit

The term ‘electric fence’ can conjure up images of watchtowers, searchlights,  and concertina wire, but low voltage electric fencing has been used for a long time in agricultural applications, even as an effective tool for the backyard gardener to control common garden raiders like pets, squirrels, rabbits raccoons, and deer.

In a final chapter that Beatrix Potter never saw coming, Mr. McGregor finally used his opposable thumbs and superior intellect to create an affordable, easy to use solution to protect his prized vegetable garden:

Mr. McGregor’s Fence.

Mr. McGregor’s Fence is a 100% effective child safe, pet safe and wildlife safe solution to the frustrating problem of hungry wildlife that help themselves to your garden. The system features a simple design that combines an 18” high barrier fence, with an electric fence placed just inches outside it that zaps any critter that tries to climb over or dig under with a mild tingle. Mr. McGregor’s Garden Store sells electric fence kits, or the parts to make your own custom electric fence, and you can choose from AC, DC (Battery), or Solar powered fence energizer models.

Need to protect berries and fruit trees, or pond fish from marauding birds? Mr. McGregor’s Garden store also has garden and pond nets, as well as proven audio/video scare deterrents for birds including Big Eye Balloons and Tangle Foot Holographic Ribbon.  

If larger animals are the problem, they’ve got electric fence solutions for bears, horses and dogs, as well as fencing products and ultrasonic, taste, and smell deterrents for deer.

And when you need to call in the heavy artillery, there’s the Scarecrow ; a motion activated water cannon that sends a sharp, unexpected burst of water that sends animals scrambling for cover.
