A question from a newbie to this group, who to be honest doesn't do much
gardening!

I have a problem with foxes, digging the lawn up, chewing holes in the net
of childrens' football goal and fouling all over the place.

What makes this inevitable is our neighbour feeding them chicken every
night.

Are there any methods of deterring them from entering our garden?

I expect there are substances that deter them by smell. We have cats and
obviously don't want them affected.

Ant advice welcome.

Thanks

I have always found a small lead pill inserted behind the ear worked well
for me!!

Jon

Try a light source such as a cheap hurricane lamp and a large mirror that is
free to rotate on a thin rope. The hardest bit is drilling the glass.
This is an old gamekeepers trick for keeping the rearing field fox free.
No great science, just fix up so that mirror keep picking up some light and
bouncing it around.

I'm surprised that gamekeeper lasted long enough to become an old
gamekeeper - shine a 1,000,000 cp qh lamp at Mr. Fochs and usually he
will stand there and look back until he is introduced to a triple-two or
·243 hv bullet.
