Animal Guard
Can you imagine finding an unidentified object in your yard? We wonder how long it’s been there without this person knowing and how did he finally stumble on to it. Perhaps it’s a new house, and this belonged to the previous owners, in which case it makes more sense. But why would they leave it behind? And what is it, anyway?
It looks a bit scary, like some kind of a torturing device. No? Is it just us? Perhaps we’ve watched one too many horror films. In reality, this is an electrostatic animal guard, and its purpose is to keep intrusive animals away from your yard. When an animal touches the spikes, it gets a light electrocution shock.
