Dig Guard Services
F.E.D.S provides professional dig guard installation services designed to prevent pest and feral animals from digging under fences and gaining access to protected areas. Dig guards are a critical component of effective exclusion systems, reinforcing fence lines and significantly improving long-term performance.
Our dig guards are constructed from heavy-duty steel mesh and installed to suit the property, soil conditions, and target species. They are suitable for use across a wide range of property types and fencing applications.
Why Dig Guards Are Important
Many pest and feral species are capable diggers and will quickly exploit weaknesses beneath fence lines. Without appropriate ground reinforcement, animals can undermine fencing, leading to repeated breaches and ongoing damage.
Dig guards help to:
- Prevent animals from burrowing or digging under fences
- Reduce fence maintenance and repair costs
- Protect crops, pasture, infrastructure, and sensitive areas
- Improve the lifespan and effectiveness of exclusion fencing
- Support long-term pest and feral animal management strategies
Heavy-Duty Steel Mesh Protection
F.E.D.S installs robust steel mesh dig guards designed to withstand sustained digging pressure and challenging ground conditions. Mesh specifications and installation depth are selected based on:
- Target species and digging behaviour
- Soil type and ground conditions
- Fence design and height
- Expected pressure and usage levels
Dig guards can be installed along new fence lines or retrofitted to existing fencing systems.
Site-Specific Installation
Every dig guard installation begins with a site assessment to ensure the solution is fit for purpose. Our team considers fence alignment, drainage, terrain, and access requirements to ensure dig guards are installed correctly and remain effective over time.
Where required, dig guards can be integrated with:
- Exclusion fencing systems
- Gates and access points
- High-pressure zones and known breach areas
Integrated Pest Management Support
Dig guards are most effective when used as part of a broader pest management strategy. F.E.D.S can combine dig guard installation with:
- Exclusion fencing services
- Active pest and feral animal control programs
- Property-specific risk assessments
- Advice on maintenance and long-term management
This integrated approach reduces reinfestation and maximises the effectiveness of fencing investments.
