The urban fox, and indeed the rural fox, is beneficial to have around
if you are a keen gardener, or for that matter, live any where rodents
are found. Not only does this asset keep the garden clear of slugs it
also keeps the rodent population down. It feeds on mice, rats and
other small mamals [mammals]. It will also eat road kills and any
discarded food like pizzas thrown away by the local drunk. in other
words given the chance it will improve your environment for free. Take
time to visit the above web site. It would help if you could also put
dog food out for it during in-clement [inclement] weather.

We have two foxes which comes most nights (one at a time; never together).
We leave out dogfood and kitchen scraps.
