Monkeys can create serious problems for utility companies, businesses, and homeowners. These agile animals often use power lines and utility poles to travel and forage, leading to damage to electrical equipment, service disruptions, and safety concerns. Fortunately, at Critter Guard, our monkey deterrent solutions are specifically designed to block monkeys from accessing power lines and utility infrastructure—helping to protect your property and maintain uninterrupted electrical service.
Monkeys are agile, intelligent creatures that often travel between trees to search for food, escape predators, and communicate with other members of their troop. While they are skilled climbers, their acrobatics can sometimes lead them to dangerous situations when they cross over power lines. If a monkey bridges contact between adjacent power lines and/or energized equipment like transformers or power terminals, they face the risk of fatal electrocution or injury. Additionally, their presence can disrupt electrical systems, potentially causing malfunctions or costly power outages.
At Critter Guard, we specialize in providing innovative monkey guards for power lines to help protect these intelligent primates. Our monkey power Line Guard creates a safe barrier that prevents them from getting access to energized power devices and encourages them to retreat away from hazardous areas, reducing the risk of injury or death. By installing our monkey guards, these remarkable creatures can move through their habitat safely, without compromising the safety and functionality of electrical infrastructure.

“The mines were successful in their trial of using Pole Guard and Line Guard to prevent monkeys from causing outages in the mines. We will be pursuing a long term strategy of using Critter Guard products across all the mines.”

Monkeys, with their strong, dexterous hands and agile climbing abilities, can scale a variety of surfaces, including utility poles. While this skill helps them navigate their environment, it also brings them into dangerous territory when they climb utility poles and come into contact with electrical equipment or overhead power lines. This creates the risk of electrocution and power disruptions.
Thankfully, Critter Guard offers specialized monkey deterrents designed to keep these curious climbers from traversing utility poles and reaching potentially harmful electrical equipment. Our Pole Guard system features rotating rollers surrounding a central plate, allowing for secure installation on a variety of utility poles, including steel, wood, concrete, and fiberglass. These humane monkey guards effectively prevent monkeys from climbing the poles, minimizing the risk of damage, power outages, and ensuring the safety of both the animals and the electrical infrastructure.
Once they’ve gained access to overhead power lines, monkeys may explore transformers and other electrical equipment out of curiosity or in search of food. Their agility and tendency to climb and leap across structures can lead to dangerous encounters with energized components. As monkeys move between trees, utility poles, and power lines, they can inadvertently create a connection between conductors and transformers, resulting in electrical shorts, power outages, and even equipment fires.
At Critter Guard, our monkey repellents for power lines and utility poles are designed to effectively prevent these agile climbers from accessing critical overhead electrical infrastructure. Our monkey guards help keep curious and nimble primates away from overhead power equipment, significantly reducing the risk of damage, service interruptions, and harm to the animals themselves.
