"Joe Rangel from Great Lakes Pet Fencing is really good with our energetic labradoodle. Trust was developed quickly. Our dog trained extremely quickly and is able to run freely (without a leash) within the boundary. Our dog's freedom and our freedom is invaluable!"
"Neil was awesome. Through the whole process from the initial call to request a quote, get a quote, and determine a date of installation (which he accommodated an evening installation to work around my work schedule) to the physical installation, Neil was the epitome of 5-star service and he had a top-notch understanding of his system and setup. He's a proud owner of the local branch/franchise of the company, and it shows. He was easy to talk to not only about the fence but about family and life in general. By his representation, I would always go back to him for any support or new fences we may need in the future. And I highly recommend him for your own pet fence. He was great with our dog with training as well and he explained everything clearly and easily for continued training. I'm happy with everything about it!"
A raccoon may be hanging around your house for convenient access to food, water, or shelter. They may drink water out of puddles, pools, ponds, fountains, or your pet’s water bowls. Raccoons are also known to eat just about anything, including food from gardens and waste from unsecured trash cans.
Vinegar can keep some animals at bay, like deer, rabbits, foxes, and raccoons. Keep in mind that your household pets, like cats and dogs, also don’t like the smell of vinegar. You can soak rags in white vinegar and put them up around your garden beds to keep the pesky critters from eating your plants.
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.
Squirrels follow a diurnal routine like humans, remaining quiet at night because they sleep. Homeowners concerned about squirrels in their homes are more likely to hear these critters in the early morning when they awaken, eager to start their day and search for sustenance. As the sun sets, squirrels wrap up their daily endeavors and return to their cozy nests for the night's rest.
Possums don’t typically pose a danger to humans—they prefer to stay out of sight. If they feel threatened, they play dead instead of engaging. However, they can become aggressive when cornered, typically when they become trapped inside your home or when a dog chases them. When this happens, it’s best to call a wildlife control service near you to remove possums safely.
