"After doing some shopping around to see what would best fit my pets I found Dog Guard and I will have to say I am very happy with this decision! Chris and Cliff were so great absolutely polite and very well educated on the product they sell and helping with any questions and concerns I had even after the install I called Chris multiple times with follow up questions and he was so helpful and understanding of my crazy calls being the first time with an electric fence! I woul definitely recommend them to anyone looking!"

"From the office staff to the owner to the installation technicians, this was a very pleasant experience!  Rob gave us a quote, took care of the permits and had his technicians build the fence in less time than he quoted!  Some of my landscaping was outside of my property line and Rob arrived to help remove it swiftly and professionally.  I would hire them again in a heartbeat!  
Thanks everyone!

"Scott is so incredibly kind, courteous and he truly loves all dogs! His dog Millie is the best too! She has helped train both of our dogs to use the PetSafe fence which has been so incredibly helpful for us since we live next to a walking path and our dogs like to greet every single person that walks by! The fence keeps them from getting outside of our property. Scott initially installed our fence for our first dog, Coco. Then we added a new puppy last year and he came back out and spent so much time to train our dog Cookie too. This time, he came to repair our broken fence that was damaged when the plumber had to dig up our water line. He also helped us with bark collars and he helps train us on how to use those as well. Scott is passionate about humane and safe dog care and I would absolutely recommend him to any dog owner!"

"I contacted Kat construction in June but as you know the weather was lousy and we have to move the date back about three times.  They kept me informed about when they thought they would get to my project and they did not take a deposit from me because they were not sure when the project would be completed. 
When they started work, it went smoothly and quickly.  Kat Construction cleaned up after themselves and I am satisfied with the work performed."

"We have been working with Blue Heaven Corp for a long period of time. They are trustworthy and reliable company, very clean and organized. Our last project was to paint our whole house. We have decided to leave for vacation and left keys for BHC crew to work on the paint  job. They have done an amazing job during our absence, not only the house was clean after this huge project but colors they have decided to use have been picked professionally and matched our furniture and floors. We’ve been very satisfied with the price and services and highly recommend Blue Heaven Corp company"

Animal Fencing questions, answered by experts

Attempting to squish a scorpion by hand or foot isn’t a good idea, as many can flatten themselves and survive a simple strike—plus, they’ll be provoked and very likely to sting. Instead, it's best to use a sharp or heavy object to pierce or crush the exoskeleton with force. Always wear protective clothing, including thick gloves, pants, and closed-toe shoes, to avoid being stung. Use long tweezers, scissors, or a knife to pierce the exoskeleton or crush it with a heavy object, making sure to twist or press down firmly to ensure the scorpion is truly dead.

There are several ways to make your yard a less attractive habitat for moles. Protect your garden beds by installing a fence or other barrier about 2 to 3 feet deep around your garden.

Moles eat insects, so grub removal is another important way to prevent moles from destroying your yard.

Likewise, remove tree stumps, dead leaves, and other debris that attract insects to your lawn. Some plants will deter moles as well, including daffodils, marigolds, crown imperial, and alliums, like garlic or onions.

It’s very rare to find mice in a bed frame or mattress outside of the most extreme infestation scenarios. That said, your bedroom isn’t off limits for mice if it offers them shelter, food, and warmth. Look for any gaps or openings a mouse could squeeze into, and don’t keep food in your bedroom. 

There’s little scientific evidence to suggest that homemade remedies to ward off wildlife are effective. But, often, when using them alongside other management techniques, it won’t do any harm to try. Suggestions include using urine-soaked kitty litter or sweat-soaked clothing items. Try applying them around your fence perimeters. Always read the instructions carefully for any commercially-bought repellents and opt for EPA-approved products. Multiple applications, especially after rain, are often necessary.

Groundhogs have a strong aversion to powerful scents, including garlic, ammonia, vinegar, hot peppers like cayenne, and predator urine. Various herbs such as rosemary, lavender, basil, mint, sage, thyme, and oregano can also act as deterrents. You can strategically use these odors around your property by planting these crops near your garden and by the entrances to groundhog burrows. Commercially available repellents offer another option, and for best results, scent-based deterrents should be used alongside other preventive measures.
