We have 6 acres. Did not see the range on the product. 6 acres, no problem?

No, you will need to buy extra wire. We covered 3 acres and used 1 1/2 spools of wire.

We used it for a one-acre property. We had to use a lot of our own wire, but it works just fine. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work for a still larger property, if you get yourself enough wire.

6 acres might be a little too much. You will definitely have to buy extra wiring. Be prepared, my yard is only about 4,000 sq ft and it took me two days to install the wiring. Also if you decide to bury the wiring take care to bury it just a half inch or so otherwise the signal will be weak. I would suggest just attaching it to the fence itself, it will make it an easier task and the signal will be stronger.

Not sure wire was already in place when we moved in. Just needed power unit

My understanding is that it would extend the area and that properly placed apart could cover the majority of 1.5 acres. One transmitter in my case is covering 3/4 acre and if I had a second transmitter at the other end of my house, it would cover over an acre. The one thing to keep in mind is that the coverage is a oval type shape, so there would be some overlap with two transmitters depending on how close they were to each other. I have been using for a couple of years and it has kept my dogs out of the road which was my purpose for buying the system.

I've not tried the range , but this is a very good product, well designed, I'm sure they have thought this thru. You would have seen negative comments by now if not.

I don't have mine turned to a large area because I live in a small house on a small property. The system works great for us but I don't know the maximum area that it will cover. I love it.

My opinion, not enough herbicide to cover an acre! You can hand wand and control flow better than using nozzles in the back exclusively. You need gallons of spray material for an acre... my experience... Good luck..

if you want any range at all, you have to buy a decent antenna. height counts, so a 6' - 8' antenna is a good choice.

have mine mounted on my la175 jd mower--it's about 7-8 inches from the ground--wasn't real happy with the coverage, lots of missed areas, could have been my process however I think its just the boom.

I used two for half acre, one on each side of my house. Not sure how much area one trap can cover.

Yes, you can extend the range with additional transmitters. We use it on 27 acres. But keep in mind that the range of EACH transmitter is only about 90 feet max. from the center of the transmitter (radius) in a circular pattern (180 feet diameter). To get a larger range you must use more transmitters in an overlapping pattern and on different locations. Keep in mind each unit requires an electrical outlet. We use one in the front, back and both sides of the house, mounted under the roof overhang in a dry location. Best would be inside near a window since the units are not moisture proof but you limited range depending on the construction of your house (brick, rocks, metal roof or siding, trees). With more transmitters our 3 dogs can roam happily around the house. They learned very quickly and stop now even short of the range selected on the transmitters.

We used about half the bag for an area about 600square feet completely bare. Once it sprouted we had a few spots that needed more so we used about 1/4 more of the bag. Hope that helps.

I needed to cover an entire 10 acre property that was already fenced in. My dogs just kept finding places to dig under the fence to visit other dogs down the road. I simply wove the wire onto my existing fence about 1 foot above the ground. The only part I buried was across the front of my property because I did not want the wire visible in the front. It has been working fine now for almost 1 year. Now the dogs stay at least 5 feet away from the fence. I can now even leave my front gate open and they won't go near it. My front gate is 1,000 feet from my house. Of course, you would have thought they would have been happy with 10 acres to begin with and not try to leave.

Sorry, I assumed it was what it said. How can we test. it. I get about a five mile range.

75-100 yards, more or less. You're not going to get much resolution after 40 yards or so. My numbers are rough, novice, estimates, though.

I had the same question. The 5 pound container is supposed to cover 3 acres. I took a wild guess and mixed one third of my 5 pound container into my 4 gallon sprayer. This should be enough to cover one acre but I sprayed roughly one half acre with the four gallons which means I was spraying double concentration. I don't mind the overkill but I'm sure that 1/6 of the 5 pound container mixed into my 4 gallon sprayer would have been sufficient. Nothing has sprouted since I sprayed a couple months ago so it seems to be working.

The area is adjustable. I'm not sure if it can be adjusted for more than 1/2 acre. My yard is about 3/4 acre, so this is perfect for our needs. Sorry I can't answer the question any better than this. There are similar products available for larger yards. My parents bought a similar product called an underground fence. It is the same concept, but the wire has to be buried along the perimeter of your yard. If you have a larger yard this may be better suited for your needs. They have 10 acres, allowing the dogs 5 to roam.

95' radius. I have 1 acre and 4 take care of most of the yard. About 10' along one side aren't covered. I can see where the moles are, so I know the ones in the ground are working. I am going to put 2 more in

I bought 1 roll of this and had an acre still have about 2/3 left I would say 2 rolls. I measured mine to be sure.
