Default Foxes scratching holes in our bowing green

These foxes probably sleep in rough land which is adjacent to the bowling
green and they are progressively damaging the well kept green by digging a
few holes each night and also removing the earth from any that has been
repaired. I have no confidence in any repellant products on the market due
to an experience I had years ago when they damaged my heather garden, but I
am wondering if anyone has found a way to deter them. Following tips from
other bowling greens I have acquired a large number of 2 litre pop bottles
which I shall fill with water and hopefully that will frighten them off as
they are apparently scared of seeing their reflection in the bottles. Using
crushed moth balls is another suggestion, but I learn that they are now
banned.
