How Poleguard Innovations Protects Power Infrastructure from Animal Damage

🐿️ The Problem

Wildlife = #2 cause of utility pole-related power outages in North America.

Squirrels, snakes, raccoons, and rodents climb poles to nest, chew wires, or shelter—causing outages, fires, and damage.

🧾 Estimated global cost of animal-caused outages: $10+ Billion/year

⚡ The Impact

A single utility outage can:

Disrupt thousands of homes and businesses

Cost utilities $1M+ in fines, repairs, and lost revenue

Public safety risk: sparks, fires, and blocked emergency communications
