Sheds, porches, and decks are common areas where animals can make a home. Once the animal has been trapped and removed, what's to stop a new animal from making a home in the same spot?
We use a product called Dig Defence to keep all animals out from under sheds, porches, and decks. Dig Defence is a tough, rust-proof material that even the strongest groundhog, raccoon, skunk, dog or cat can't get through. In fact, we use bolt cutters to cut and install the product, that's how tough it is!
Dig Defence has a height of 15" which makes it perfect to install below ground to prevent digging animals like skunks, groundhogs, and dogs from gaining access under your structures. We use a custom installation tool along with a post driver to professionally install this great product.
If you don't want to see the installed Dig Defence at the base of your shed or deck, then you can add a decorative lattice over top of the Dig Defence to hide it. This would be only for cosmetic reasons.
Other applications for Dig Defence include using it to stop pets from digging under your fence and escaping your yard. Whether you have a chain link fence, vinyl fence, or wooden fence, Dig Defence can keep the wildlife OUT of your yard and keep your pets IN your yard!
We love using Dig Defence to keep animals out of our client's structures.

Great video! Thank you! This is better than the manufacturer's video. You clearly do quality work, that install looks great. I would love to know how you got the install so flush with the deck since it is under a lip and doesn't look like you can use the tool pictured at the beginning of the video.

@prudentialpestsolutions6617 2 жыл бұрын

To make it flush when there is a lip, we install the Dig Defence at an angle and then form it flush to the structure. Thanks for the kind comments!

Great idea! Exactly what I've been looking for... been using chicken wire on the inside (my barn is half gravel/half cement floor) but they're still digging under the cement half... Don't suppose you service Western Ohio...? Or maybe know of an affiliate here? Would also like to know what would be good for filling the voids these creatures leave... I have a 60x60 barn with a 30x60 cement floor and no telling how much tunneling underneath.

can you install it with a hammer and 2x4 or something on top? not looking to buy the tool to install a few panels and never use it again? hoping to use this to seal up some holes at the bottom of a stepped hogwire fence?

I am too afraid this would hit electrical or plumbing lines, my plumbing is plastic pipe, that would not be good. Also, you have created a protected place for small rodents, no predator can get in, so rats and mice would love it. And it can't be easily removed to clean underneath.

When installing around the deck, did you start with the Dig Defense at a slight angle and then straighten it up flush with the deck once most of the Dig Defense was buried? ( this is exactly how my deck is). I need to keep possums and feral cats out from under my deck.

@prudentialpestsolutions6617 Жыл бұрын

Great question! DigDefence is a great product for larger animals. Smaller rodents such as mice, rats, and chipmunks can easily fit through the posts of the DigDefence. To keep smaller rodents out, we use 1/2" or 1/4" hardware cloth trenches into the surrounding ground. Check out our other video on animal proofing your shed for more info.

@dukeman7595 2 жыл бұрын

Hey dig defense it won't keep out those slithery bastards, hardware cloth will, especially if you fold a portion outward on the ground and run a vertical portion and staple to the building.. This method will thwart any digging animals and stop the snakes for a lot less money and almost anyone can do it themselves and save a lot of money..

You are correct that this product is not effective for smaller animals like mice, rats, and other rodents. To keep smaller animals and rodents out, you can use 1/4" or 1/2" hardware cloth buried into the ground and bent outwards at the bottom. This requires trenching but would keep the smaller rodents out.
