I thought I had deterred them. Anyway, it came into my garden at dawn
this morning and had a good look and sniff around but stayed well
clear of my pond with its electric fence. So maybe the foxes have got
the message at last, "Leave my pond alone"!


Doug.


Is that good? I am a poultry keeper and a fox is not good for me.

No its not good. I don't want foxes, dogs or cats in my garden because
they damage and destroy things and leave their droppings. That is why
I have CCTV which allows me to develop a strategy for deterring them,
mainly by blocking their usual routes or by alarming them in some way.

I have a no fox policy here since they came in the day and killed almost all
my chickens once apart from the ones that managed to hide.
They get trapped in a catch alive trap overnight in my chicken run and then
get a bullet in the ear.
