Default Deterring Foxes

The message
from "Reg" contains these words:

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?


A ·243" is quite effective...........

I expect there are substances that deter them by smell. We have cats and
obviously don't want them affected.


Much more likely to be killed by the foxes. Unfortunately I know of
nothing which deters them - wish I did. We shoot somewhere between
thirty and forty of them on the shoot each year.
