Works like a Charm!,
I bought this kit to go around my vegetable garden because some animal was climbing over the fence and eating my plants. I was unable to figure out what it was but it was some animal that will climb a fence; like a raccoon or woodchuck. I could have bought the parts and made the kit myself but it would have cost more and taken a lot longer. I needed something I could quickly install because my crops were being devastated and I didn’t want to wait another night. The kit is simple to install but doesn’t contain much instruction about the heights of the wires. I found info on the internet about that and ran the wires from 5″ up to 12″ in height. Installation took about 1.5hrs. It comes with a tester to make sure it works properly but I was curious as to what the critter would feel so I touched the electrified wire with the back of my finger. This thing gives a very hefty wallop as I could feel pain and discomfort up my arm for a good 5 minutes afterworlds. I won’t touch it again that’s for sure. After instillation I have had ZERO problems with animals in my garden. It works Awesome. I like the fact that the controller makes a faint audible sound and has a little light on the front that blinks. I can look out my window at night and see that thing blinking and feel good that my garden is safe. Only complaint and reason for not giving 5 stars is the posts are a little wimpy. I had to reinforce the corners with a second post of my own creation to keep them from bending over. I would buy this unit again.

|Works really well but takes set-up time,
I have had mine for about 3 years and it has finally given out. I liked it well enough that I am going to buy another. I have two german shepherds that like to run through my garden and this worked great. Only took one touch and since then just the little beep it makes was enough to keep them away. Feels similar to a strong static shock. It keeps out other critters, but possums can go under it. I am going to try putting the wires closer together again. It seems to go through batteries about one a month…not to bad. Much better than replacing my garden weekly. I do advise using stronger fence posts..the included pvc ones are not really strong enough. Wood or metal is fine.
Buy it!

|Works for me,
We have a 1000sf garden surrounded by a 8 foot wire deer fence. Squirrels go through it. Raccoons go over it. Groundhogs dig under it. We count a good year as one where we get half our crops before the animals. I installed this with 1 wire 4 inches from the fence and 12 inches off the ground after something (raccoons?) ate 75% of my corn crop. It stopped the squirrels and the groundhogs. We won’t know until next year if it will keep the raccoons off the corn.
I had it up for two months. At the end of two months the same set of batteries still caused the tester to light up. I don’t like the flimsy plastic tubes used for stakes but they did the job and kept the price down. I will reuse this next year with two wires and more substantial stakes.
I recommend this to my friends.
