A scent fence, sometimes also called a chemical fence, protects your house and property against wild animals by using scents that mimic their natural enemies. Thanks to its easy installation and low terrain requirements, it is also a great solution in hard-to-reach places or on uneven surfaces. All you need to build a scent fence is a wooden pole, stump, branch or fence post, on which you place an adapter with a carrier for the scenting agent. Then you just need to apply the scent concentrate and you're done. The resulting solution is not only economical, but also environmentally friendly and does not endanger animal health.
What animals are repelled by the odour fence from your property
Odour fences act as a scarecrow for a variety of wildlife from deer to moles, mice and other rodents, but there is no such thing as a universal odour fence. Each of the fences is designed against a different animal and serves different purposes. There are four types of odour repellents on offer:
- Scent fence against deer, rabbits and to protect deer from hay.
- Odour fence against wild boar and badgers
- Odour fence against martens and weasels
- Odour fence against moles and other small rodents
- Odour fence against otters
For what purpose the odour fence can be used
You can use a scent fence to protect your property, agricultural crops and livestock. It is a good protection for a chicken run against martens, as a marten repellent for your car or a mole repellent for your garden. It will also solve the question of how to deal with a marten in your attic when it has taken up residence among your beams. It also works great as a game scare for vineyards or as a protection for trees against being bitten by wildlife. Often a scent fence is used along roadsides as a protection against collisions with wildlife.
Electric fencing in combination with a scent fence as an effective protection against game
It is advisable to combine a scent fence with an electric fence, as wildlife can get used to the scent fence over time and start doing damage on your property again. In addition, if your property is located in a varied or hilly terrain, you can use an electric fence on flat and easily accessible terrain and supplement it with a scent fence in hills or high vegetation. It is also very advisable to combine a scent fence with an electric fence if you are thinking about protecting your car against martens.
