Pole Guard - Stop Squirrels from Accessing Power Lines via Utility Poles

Pole Guard: Transformer and Power Line Protection

Animal-related power outages are one of the most significant causes of power outages worldwide. When a squirrel or other critter gains access to pole-mounted equipment such as transformers or switches, they can chew, damage, or short the equipment which can cause significant outages and blackouts across the area.

With the above in mind, the Pole Guard prevents squirrels, rats, and other animals from gaining access to transformers and electric power lines, and ultimately causing significant damage to your home or power service area.

Versatile Set Up

The Pole Guard is engineered to fit a 10 to 12-inch diameter pole. The plate is made of specially formulated resin designed exclusively for extreme outdoor applications. The mounting plate extends less than 10" from the pole, and the rollers attach to the plate and can be easily removed by utility linemen if necessary for access above the Pole Guard. Critter Guard now offers optional mounting hardware for concrete, steel, and fiberglass poles. Yes, some types of critters easily scale these other pole materials.

Hardened Material

The patented Pole Guard rollers are injection molded of heavy-duty polypropylene, highly resistant to environmental stress cracking, and UV protection to maintain color quality.

Four zinc-coated nails secure the plate, which acts to block access as well as to support seven rollers which mount to the plate, providing 360-degree impassible protection from squirrels and other small rodents. For poles of smaller diameter, P&C Flex conduit is provided as a gap filler between the plate and pole. Additionally, if necessary, the rollers can be easily removed and re-installed.
