I have a problem in a client's garden.

Small town garden, shed in rear corner, fence behind, another fence
30cm away, shed beyond.

Foxes appear to have den below one or other of sheds accesses via the
inaccessible (sic) area between the fences/sheds.

Garden is now foxes playground and unusable by the two kids.

sonic devices have so far failed to deter them

1. Any advice on getting rid?


If it is possible given the constraints, the most humane method is to
block off the access to entrances and exits (the gaps between fence and
sheds?) they are using to the den ensuring that they elsewhere at the
time. A suggestion is to loosely block the holes with rags. If the
rags haven't moved for two or three days, you can safely assume that
nothing is going in and out and nothing is coming out. It is then safe
to fill the holes.


2. Any suggestions for suitable sterilizing spray/wash for the climbing
frame, trampoline etc that the foxes have crapped on?


Any bathroom cleaner/disinfectants
