South Africa is well-known for its diverse animal kingdom. From the wildlife of the savannas to the livestock that feed our nation, animals play a huge role in our economy.
The problem is ensuring harmony between farming and wildlife, especially when it comes to keeping animals in their own territory. Wildlife can wreak havoc on farms and having a solution that protect your crops and livestock is a necessity.
Understanding wildlife management and control
When unwanted wildlife invades your fields, it can lead to considerable financial losses. Bush pigs enjoy feasting on your maize and vegetables, while elephants can trample your fields. Keeping your livestock safe is no easy task as well. Animals like jackals, rooikat, hyena and leopards pose a risk to your cattle and sheep.
Keeping these animals off your property can be costly, and traditional methods are not always as effective in the long run. Therefore a solution, that is environmentally friendly to wildlife and keeps your farm safe, is very important.
