Hello Judy

JR Please ... any good, safe ideas on how I can discourage the
JR fox from using a particular area of the garden as a toilet ?
JR The dear animal is quite horribly prolific in its activities

Anything strong smelling. Pepper, chillies, garlic...

Foxes mark their terratories by crapping. These little pointy poos are
strongly smelling on their own, which is why they use them to edge
"their" area against other male foxes, and to give status/health
information for any wondering vixens. If you can drown out his smell
with something else he'll probably try again somewhere else nearby.
