Any tips on eliminating or reducing Electric fence QRM, apart from moving !

My neighbours adjoining field has a fence which to me looks in poor shape.
The fence is of rope with a fine strand/s of conductor woven in and to make
joints in the rope it is just knotted,  I can hear ticking (as in arcing)
from these 'joints' I've tried wire bonding across a couple of these
'joints' which seems to eliminate the arcing but this does not do anything
for the QRM.
Is it possible to reduce or eliminate this QRM ? It also interferes with MW
and LW broadcast reception btw.
I have no previous knowledge of these fences and I haven't approached my
neighbour yet as I'm new here and there is a language barrier.

I'm using a K2 and the NB sometimes helps a little but doesn't eliminate the
QRM which sounds like a regular ticking about once per second

Any advice appreciated, thanks,
