We have one of the "smart bird feeders with the camera". We love it and so did the squirrels and racoons. I bought this, wrapped 3 zones of wire-mesh around the tree (with 1 inch gap between each) and mounted the bird feeder on the middle section. Wired the top and bottom sections together connected to one output, and the middle section to the other. Worked a treat. Squirrel only had to get a shock once and now stays clear.

I plugged it in and it's clicking like it should, but I'm not going to test it

Good for small animals, would not recommend for large dogs or anything over 80lbs. It's a good value for the price, but know a large animal will push through it. ALSO NOTE, it is NOT waterproof.

Of course my return window is closed..... I purchased four of these total, three that are more powerful and more costly...... I do not use these right away but have them put back in case a previous one goes bad.... this one is only been in service less than a week does not work at all .......very dissatisfied..... now just more useless expensive landfill.....DO NOT BUY THIS

Like all electric fence chargers it must be protected from the elements. But it was easy enough to put inside the garage and plug in near the outlet only having to drill one 3/8" hole through the exterior wall to run the power cable and ground wire to the charger. It has a blinking light that shows it's charging the fence tape. All I have to do is glance at the light to know it's not grounded off somewhere on the tape.My Great Pyrenees, Molly, has not been able to get out of the yard since I put this charger and fence up in a relatively inexpensive way compared to the larger area fence chargers. I'm very happy with this fence charger. It's very cost efficient.

The media could not be loaded. Squirrels like to use my fence to hop onto the feeder. I tried a squirrel branded hot sauce with some success. Hot sauce wasn't ideal, since it rains so much where I live and also the small birds didn't appreciate the amount of hot sauce I was applying to the feed.I followed up on a wild idea and researched some videos online. Using an electric fence provides the adequate jolt to deter the squirrels. I stapled 2 rails of aluminum wire to a 4 foot section on the fence.The setup from the get go provided a few clips of hilarious squirrel highjinks. After a few days they stopped attempting to leap onto the feeder. I also use a baffle to prevent squirrels from climbing up the pole.The energizer will be put up against the elements this winter. The longer it can hold up the better. It has already done its job, and brings tremendous value for its price point.

I’ve been using patriot and I have gone through so many of them. Yes some of them were my fault. You know they hit a wire deer hit them in the wire went into a wire fence and shorted it out since then done the best I can possibly do putting up putting mulch down so the weeds don’t grow, I turned this thing on and tested it and it was like 7.8. The other brand I just bought it says two point something I’ve been buying these and Rebuilding this patriot brand I don’t care if the patriot brand still works a little bit it doesn’t work like this and for the cheaper model of patriot it’s $38 for the one with more power that is not as powerful as this one it’s $50. This is definitely worth your money and I wish I I knew about this one first haven’t had it long so maybe I can come back and tell you it lasted more than a year but if these don’t last more than a year, it’s because something went wrong a wire hid into it or weeds or whatever so you know you gotta watch where you have it and take good care of it but we’ll see. I have two wire fences and I need the second wire to work just as good as the first word so I’m purchasing the second One.

I bought 2 of this for sheep. When working you get a light for pulsating. You can tell when something is wrong by this light. To fast or steady on, something is off. 2 I bought burned the circuit. 1st was a wire touched the powered fence creating steady ground and it stopped working. 2nd a branch grounded it long enough for the charger to stop working. Wish it had a reset button or something like it. Otherwise good when working. I got hit by the charge... not fun lol
