Rat vs Electric Fence

Quote:
Blood meal is made from blood. Prey animals such as rats or rabbits(horses/deer/etc) get nervious when they smell blood because it signifies that something was killed, which would equate to a predator in the area.

Because blood meal has to be reapplied fairly frequently to keep the scent up, it may eventually, after many liberal applications, throw the soil balance off in the garden.

We save the blood from our own slaughterings for the garden. Doesn't help with the birds, because most have poor smell, but it is suppose to help with wild rabbits and deer.
 
Is this charger the same as a fence charger for horses? I have the rope fencing with metal going threw it. My charger has one setting "on". The shorter the distance the less zap. Can I use metal fencing with this charger?

The rat faught the fence......and the fence WON.

This is the same fence that I have around my coop and run. I have yet to have anything get in that I didn't want in.

What kind of power controller box did you use?
 
I know that when I worked for a veterinarian (many moons ago) the animals that weren’t cremated and owners didn’t want the body. We disposed them to a rendering company that made blood meal fertilizer. No cows. To me it was like the full circle of life.
Back to the garden to grow food. Hell I wouldn’t mind that at all.
 
As to the validity of this story......I smell a rat. If it worked as the OP suggested, all you would have to do to rid yourself of rats would be to smear a low hot wire with peanut butter. If it worked at all, it would be common knowledge and a lot of folks would be using it. More likely, they get zapped like all the rest and after that, learn to avoid it. As sensitive as they are to things, probably avoid it better than most.

I'm thinking that was just a hoax. Dead rat hung on the wire and false claim made.
