Electricity does take the shortest route to earth so would go down your leg but it does stimulate contraction of muscles. I really do hope that you have the happy outcome you deserve.

I had a question regarding receiving a shock from an electric fence during pregnancy. I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant and we are on a vacation in Denmark. While we were on a hike today, I backed into an electric fence and received a fairly fierce shock to my bum, which then traveled down my right leg. Do you know if an electric fence shock can be harmful to a foetus? I can still feel my baby kicking, but not quite sure if I should make a visit to the hospital. Thank you for your help!

It is currently being assessed by Natural England to see if it may be legally implemented so until that OK is given we are unable to proceed.

They nest on the flat roof, and any other areas where we were unable to fit spikes, including the top floor gutter, where they squeeze down into the gutter out of the wind and make themselves at home. We have installed spikes and tried other solutions but the score at present is pigeons 5 BobW 0 I look forward to hearing from you.

Rope is by far a better option as it negates all those objections. The only advantage tape has is its perceived visibility and I feel at 6mm rope is just as visible as tape.
