The Wireless Moose Fence™ takes advantage of the biology and instincts of moose to train them to fear your yard. Once a moose touches a Wireless Moose Fence™ post, it avoids the area for good.
When moose come across a Wireless Moose Fence™ post, the sweet scent attracts them, and they are shocked on the nose.
Moose rely on their keen sense of smell more than other senses for their safety and to satisfy their hunger. After one encounter with a Wireless Moose Fence™ post, a moose relates the the shock, not only with your yard, but also with the scent of the resin tubes used on the device. This connection between the pain of the shock and the smell of the resin tubes is a lasting learning experience for the moose, and it will not return to the area where it smells the devices.
They remember areas where they have been hurt. One contact with the Wireless Moose Fence™ creates a lifelong memory for the moose.
They avoid areas where they perceive danger. Fear is a strong motivator for moose, and they instantly learn to avoid an area where they have been shocked.
After a moose has encountered the Wireless Moose Fence™, it adjusts its living area and changes its routines to avoid the area where it has been hurt.
You may witness some damage after initially installing the Wireless Moose Fence™. When a new, untrained moose comes into an area, it may take some time to encounter a post. Sometimes a moose won't touch the Wireless Moose Fence™ right away because the posts are strange and smell like humans. The training period damage is minimized by using an adequate number of devices and properly placing the devices in entrances to the protected area and around the plants that moose like. If an area is over-run with moose, use more devices and place posts closer together.
Here are some more tips for training moose with the Wireless Moose Fence™:
When possible, put posts out before planting.
Protect the plants during the training period by using a deterrent spray until all the local moose are trained.
Leave existing moose barriers in place for a while to give the Wireless Moose Fence™ time to work.
Heavy rain, ice, and snow can discharge the Wireless Moose Fence™. The posts will recharge when they start to dry out. Moose that have been trained by the Wireless Moose Fence™ will still avoid the area.
To be effective, keep the Wireless Moose Fence™ clear of snow and ice. With heavy snow, it is best to bring the posts inside. Light snow and ice will not harm the Wireless Moose Fence™ or shorten the battery life.
The Wireless Moose Fence™ has proven to be effective in most applications, but in rare cases it has not provided satisfactory moose control. Moose are wild animals, and they can be unpredictable.
Sales experience and field testing has revealed the following possible causes of failure. Many of these causes can be addressed or avoided.
A few posts cannot provide complete and immediate protection for a large area. You will have better results with a few posts if you put them in a smaller area and closer together. Put a post wherever you think a moose will find it. Moose will not go to a post from a long distance. They have to discover posts in their wanderings. If you have 3 posts placed 25 feet apart, moose could go between them without finding a post.
Moose do not always find a post right away, so there is a training period. Patience is important. When given time to work, the Wireless Moose Fence™ has provided effective moose control in a very high percentage of applications.
Even after all the local moose are trained, new moose can come into your area, and they may browse a bit before they find a post.
Only a sturdy fence can keep starving moose away from a food source.
A moose may touch a post without getting shocked because it fails to make good electrical contact. Usually moose will try again.
You must also position the Wireless Moose Fence™ posts in the interior of the area as well as on the perimeter. That way, moose that wander past the perimeter posts can still find a post. Position posts so that moose can find them easily.
To be effective, posts must be tested to be sure they have a spark, the attractant must be replaced monthly, and posts cannot be overgrown with vegetation. Posts must be kept upright and free of cobwebs, leaves, debris, snow, and ice.
Tracks and damage beside a post doesn’t necessarily mean that the post has not worked. The next thing that a moose touched may have been the post, in which case it won’t be back.
A fallen post doesn't mean that it has not worked. Moose will sometimes knock posts over when they are shocked.
If moose are used to eating certain plants, they might ignore the posts at first in favor of what they are used to eating. Eventually, they usually will encounter a post and be trained.
