Durban dwellers, and many other inhabitants of sunny South Africa, will know well the effects of a vervet monkey troop as they move through a neighbourhood looking for food. They overturn rubbish bins, grab fruit and other foodstuffs through open kitchen windows, and make a monumental ruckus in trees as they fight each other for dominance all over your property. Homeowners often resort to various strategies to deter these mischievous creatures, from securing trash bins with heavy lids to installing barriers around gardens. However, success varies, and seeking expert advice on managing monkey behavior effectively can provide additional solutions. Engaging with local wildlife services can also help in understanding the best practices for coexisting peacefully with these clever primates.
While Wonder Bars can’t do anything about your overturned bins, or the shaking trees and low growls, we can however ensure that vervet monkeys are kept out of your house – without you having to leave your kitchen windows closed when not at home. How do we do this? With our new vervet monkey proofing, of course! Here’s what you need to know…
Who Needs Vervet Monkey Proofing?
KwaZulu-Natal is a province saturated with troops of vervet monkeys. However, these adorable little trouble makers can be found all along the southern and south-eastern coastline of South Africa, as well as in parts of the Northern Cape, North West, Gauteng, and Limpopo. Vervet monkeys are also prevalent along the eastern coast of the continent – all the way up to the horn of Africa.
Once selecting your neighbourhood to move through in search of supplies, vervet monkey troops will climb through windows and slip through trellis gates in search of food. The Wonder Bars Vervet Monkey Proofing system is ideal for homes and businesses that are often targets of vervet monkey invasions, as well as any small dog owners that would prefer not to have Fido slip through the trellis gate bars. So, how does the system work? You’re about to find out…
How the System Works
Our innate ability to constantly improve our Wonder Bars security products has lead us to the conceptualisation of our new Vervet Monkey Proofing system. Suitable for both private homes and businesses, our monkey proofing bars do not harm the monkeys like many other deterrents. With this system, you never have to stand around the corner with broom in hand, waiting in annoyed suspense for a vervet monkey to gain access to your home.
Our Wonder Bars Vervet Monkey Proofing system comes in two formats: as an added extra on any new burglar proofing bought from us, or as a monkey proofing solution we are able to attach to your existing home burglar proofing. Solid polycarbonate bars are bolted between burglar bars and trellis gate bars, halving the open spaces where vervet monkeys would otherwise be able to slip through. This means you can safely keep your windows opened at all times without having to worry about any unwanted furry visitors.
