Default Deterring Foxes...

I'm fast reaching the point where the pleasure from watching local foxes
playing in mine and my garden in the early morning is being outweighed by
the damage they are doing to my newly emerging plants!

I wondered if anyone here has any experience with and advice on ways to deal
with these roguish pests? There are plenty of gadgets on Ebay, but the
likeliest looking one I've found is elsewhere, called 'Foxwatch'. It's a bit
pricey compared to the others, but claims to be 'the most successful
ultrasonic fox deterrent ever invented', which sounds promising:-) I want
something that scares off foxes but doesn't affect birds in any way. It'd be
nice if it kept cats away too - as the other gadgets claim they can - but
that's not essential. Apart from scaring off foxes, my main concern is not
to disturb the birds...

Any advice would be appreciated...
