Deterring Foxes

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
Try a light source such as a cheap hurricane lamp and a large mirror that is
free to rotate on a thin rope. The hardest bit is drilling the glass.
This is an old gamekeepers trick for keeping the rearing field fox free.
No great science, just fix up so that mirror keep picking up some light and
bouncing it around.
