Deterring Foxes
In article ,
says...
A question from a newbie to this group, who to be honest doesn't do much
gardening!
I have a problem with foxes, digging the lawn up, chewing holes in the net
of childrens' football goal and fouling all over the place.
What makes this inevitable is our neighbour feeding them chicken every
night.
Are there any methods of deterring them from entering our garden?
I expect there are substances that deter them by smell. We have cats and
obviously don't want them affected.
Ant advice welcome.
Thanks
Patience and a 12 bore. If you live in an urban area be sure you or
whoever culls it is aware of bye laws and shooting laws, sounds like you
are not "out in the sticks" :-) I am a big animal lover, our place is
like a zoo, but the fox is unwelcome and a real killer of anything it can
master. If you have kids with pet rabbits or guinea pigs et cetera,
expect them to be high on Mr Foxs' wanted list.
