Foxes - removal
 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of foxes from your garden?

I keep seeing foxes in my garden - cute ones as opposed to the mangy old ones that you normally see by railway sidings. All they do is come into my garden to use it as their lavatory.

I've tried putting *****ly branches down near to where they do their business but it hasn't helped. I've tried to block off all access points to my garden by putting rocks/plant pots in the way but they dig around that problem! I'm even leaving my outside light on on "intruder" mode, but they are still persisting.

What do you use to get rid of the red-menace?

Could it be that you don't have any pets (do you?) and they don't regard the territory as belonging to anyone else. Trying peeing where they go and see if that makes a difference......

Go to London Zoo and ask for some Loin or Tiger urine.
or is this an urban myth?

You can get repellant from B&Q. It's in the gardening section.

Don't make a difference if you have pets or not. My mums old kitty Midget used to stand nose to nose with foxes at the top of the garden, and they still came back. One scary pussy cat that one, but then she was pretty feral!
Although you aren't supposed to at all, my parents stopped them raiding the bins by putting a few scraps out at the top of the drive(opposite end of the garden to the bins). It actually worked and they got to do a bit of Nature watch at the same time. Many generations of foxes have been treat like it at my parents house, and many bins left unharmed!

Colchester Zoo sell tubs of Zoo Poo. It is well known for keeping unwanted animals out of your garden - it really does work.


Mind you, it can keep you out of the garden for a while!

get a big dog to crap in your garden then the foxes will avoid it.

That is not as barmy as it sounds.

My dad breeds pheasants and this year had a problem with foxes trying to kill the poults, so as RH suggested above, he pee'd into a bottle and then poured it around the fence line to put the foxes off. And it worked.
