Securing Your Property: The Value of a Well-Maintained Fence

Living in areas with abundant wildlife, like the far west side of Bloomington, poses unique challenges. According to the Bloomington Animal Shelter, maintaining proper barriers can help ensure safety and peace of mind for you and your family.

Fences and Wildlife Safety

Generally, coyotes won’t scale a fence higher than 6 feet. Installing extenders, which angle outward, to the top of each post and running 2 or 3 strands of wire along the extenders will help ensure that these animals don’t pass over the top.

Reducing Interactions with Wildlife

The environment we live in belongs to us as much as it does to our fellow travelers in this life. It is our responsibility to invest our time, intelligence, and resources in saving the lives of wild creatures by minimizing their exposure to us. Therefore, the best investment if you want to save an animal's life is to protect it from uncontrolled interactions with humans.
