This special fence has been installed to prevent raccoons, skunks, rats, etc. from accessing private electrical substations or private property. Animals are unable to climb over or dig through these secured areas as they are protected by this heavy duty material.

In the different states in which we work, they are problems with rodents gaining access to electrical substations, gas, and oil plants. Here, we are utilizing a back hoe to install a concrete driveway. This is necessary at the entrance point to establish a blockade to prevent rodents from entering this electrical substation. |

In this photo, the concrete forms are being set up to prepare for ther actual concrete drive pad to be installed. |

Here is a finished look of the concrete driveway at the entrance gate where the rats and raccoons have been entering. They typically are going through or up and over the existing chain link fence gaining access to the electrical substation where they are shorting out the transformers causing a loss of revenue to the electrical utility company and their customer, which is an oil and gas product supplier. They are currently losing approximately $30,000 a day for each transformer blown. |

We are installing an underground rodent fence which will block out skunks, rats, raccoons, or snakes. The fence is installed underground to prevent ground burrowing rodents from access. Notice how the trench has been dug deep into the ground allowing the subgrade fence to be installed. |

The rodent slick fence that we are installing requires heavy exterior treated two by four or two by six frames. In our experience with preventing rodent damage, this style of framing is the best available attatchment system for the rodent slick fence material. |

Rats, raccoons, and squirrels were climbing the telephone poles. They were accessing the elctrical boxes and chewing on electrical wires inside of the breaker boxes. They were also nestying in the boxes.As they would climb the poles, they would access thr substation by scaling the high wire syustem to the transformers. |
 |
Here we have installed a rodent slick sheet blockade on this particular telephone pole. Now, the animals can not climb to the electrical boxes or access the high wires to the transfomer systems. We have had excellent success with all burrowing and climbing rodents. Preventing them from gaining access to very expensive electrical substations. |

In this photo, you can see how the slick fence has been installed and attatched to the chain link fence, preventing any animals or rodents from climbing or gaining access into the station. Note the different color of material at the gate hinge points. This product is a flexible slick fence used for gate opening and hinge points. At the bottom of the photo, the material has been culved or curved, allowing the gate to open and close tightly, disallowing acces from rodents. |

This is a gate detail where the gate, concrete, and slick fence meet. |

This is a five gallon container of rodent poison. It is refillable with a multi-feed rat poison, controlling the incoming animals for up to sixty to ninety days. |

Here we see the completed installation of a rodent slick fence. We realize that it looks a little unique compared to most chain link fence barriers. This substation is in a remote area and visual asthetics are not necessarily the most important requirement. The reason why this professional rodent fence was installed was to prevent the loss of revenue to the utility company. |
