Monitor lizard exclusion for farms

Start with physical exclusion and attractant control; do not assume electric wire is a proven solution.

Site assessment before wire layout

No generic wire heights or voltage are published for this application. Identify the access route and have a specialist define a suitable barrier before buying a system.

Behaviour & design

Water monitors use aquatic environments and some monitor species climb. Inspect drains, gaps, branches and feed waste. Seek wildlife help for trapped animals rather than cornering or handling them.

NParks supports physical barriers and closing gaps. We found no sufficiently strong species-specific electric design to publish exact wire heights or voltage. Any electric supplement needs a reviewed site trial; it is not an established standard.

Specialist review required before selecting an energizer or buying a kit.

Conductor

Compare smooth fence conductors by resistance per kilometre and breaking strength. Choose visible, suitable polywire for temporary divisions; verify its resistance before long runs. Never electrify barbed wire.

Posts & corners

Set post spacing for terrain, conductor sag and the manufacturer's tension limits. Brace corners and gates; use suitable insulators and lead-out cable. More posts may be needed on uneven ground.

Choose by fence load, not acreage

Energized wire length ≈ perimeter × live strands. PEMALL's existing estimator also considers vegetation. Its Joule band is a preliminary stored-energy estimate, not a guaranteed operating voltage. Conductor resistance, grounding, animal pressure and expansion must be checked against manufacturer load data.

Power options

12 V AC adapter / mains input

For sites with nearby grid power. The energizer runs through a compatible 12 V AC adapter from a standard socket; never connect mains directly to the fence wire.

12 V battery

For compatible DC energizers. Plan charging, inspections and spare capacity before the battery runs low.

Solar + battery

For remote farms. Size from actual energizer consumption, shade and cloudy-day autonomy; protect equipment from flooding and theft.

Grounding & daily checks

Follow the energizer manual for earth rods, separation and earth-return wiring. Rain does not guarantee a good earth system. Test the far end and gates with a fence tester, clear tropical growth, and inspect after storms. Correct leakage and grounding before increasing energizer size.

Avoid these mistakes

Copying an otter design and calling it validated for monitor lizards, or leaving food waste accessible.

A deterrent, not a trap

Use only a compliant, purpose-built pulsed fence energizer. Never connect mains directly to wire, use continuous-current homemade equipment, or electrify barbed wire. Fit visible warning signs at access points and as required locally. Keep gates safe and switch off before maintenance. Never connect two energizers to the same fence circuit.

Build a system for my farm

Estimate wire requirements here, then continue into PEMALL's existing product and quotation flow. Specialist applications remain subject to site review.

Specialist assessment required. No validated generic wire-count preset; assess physical exclusion first.

Questions before you build

Why are there no wire heights here?

Precise numbers would imply evidence we do not have. Physical exclusion can be planned now; electrical details should follow a species and site review.

Can I choose an energizer just from the animal?

No. Two farms with the same animal can have very different wire loads, vegetation, grounding and power needs. Use the planner, then verify the actual fence voltage during commissioning.
