PROTECT UTILITY POLES FROM SQUIRRELS, WOODPECKERS, & OTHER WILDLIFE — REDUCE OUTAGES, DAMAGES & MAINTENANCE COSTS

WHY CHOOSE ANIMAL GUARD POLE WRAP?

Wildlife interference is one of the leading causes of power outages for public utilities nationwide. According to the American Public Power Association, animals contacting or climbing power equipment consistently rank among the top outage contributors year after year.

Consider these real impacts:

In 2015 alone, squirrels caused 560 outages in Montana—just one state.
Each animal-related outage affects an average of 13,000 customers.
A single substation event can cost utilities tens of thousands of dollars in equipment damage, labor, and downtime.
Systemwide, power outages cost the U.S. economy an estimated $80–$188 billion annually due to lost productivity, business disruption, and customer dissatisfaction.

Animal Guard Pole Wrap offers a simple, effective way to reduce these costly wildlife-caused outages.

HOW ANIMAL GUARD WORKS

Animal Guard is a durable, UV-stabilized plastic wrap engineered specifically for utility poles to prevent climbing by squirrels, raccoons, cats, and other wildlife. The smooth, non-grippable surface stops animals from gaining traction, reducing the likelihood they’ll reach transformers, conductors, or communication lines.

KEY ADVANTAGES:

- UV-stabilized material built for long-term outdoor exposure
- Easily installed at any height or strategic location on the pole
- Protects critical infrastructure by blocking common climbing species
- Custom heights and lengths available for large-volume order

By adding Animal Guard to your pole protection strategy, utilities can meaningfully reduce outages, improve reliability metrics, and lower long-term maintenance costs.
