Urban Foxes. Has anyone philosophy as to how I can prevent our local fox using my garden as a public toilet?
Answers: shoot it?
There is a product call the Silent Roar, pelletised lion dung, intended to deter deer and rabbits from gardens. It might work with foxes too. I've also hear that mothballs are effective deterrents; and also staying up beside a high power hose down pistol a few nights and squirting the animal when it comes into the garden can work wonders. worth a try!
Get some Jeyes fluid, soak some rag in it, and dangle them on the walls, and around your garden. It smells pretty dreadful but foxes truly hate it, and will soon find somewhere else to use as a loo!
Had equal problem a few years back, and they even started digging a den within the back garden which be when I decided ample was unequivocally enough! It works, though
Good luck!
Do you know anyone toilet training a puppy at the moment? I soaked up my neighbours puppy's wee on rag and left them surrounded by the corners of my garden and it stopped the fox doing his business there. I regard it works by making the fox think that a dog have made his territory in attendance and he wont want to encroach on that.
Put up a sign within Urban Fox ? Tidy your heap ? Ask it to stir nextdoors ? Move to the Country ? Shoot the bastard ? Sigh at the wonders of nature ?
Sometimes using small scarf flags that have soaked surrounded by kerosene around your garden will keep them at cove.
The strong smell of petrol can be upsetting to them and cause them to move along.
