I have had a lot of experience trying to deter foxes and you can rest
assured that smell will not put them off. They soon get used to it.

I used teabags which had been dunked in Renardine
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=154997 but they simply carried the
bags around the site with me watching from a bedroom window.

That was many years ago and maybe the modern Renardine is more
effective. I don't know.

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
