This is pretty much the only point I will agree on here. One of my

neighbours
has a dog and is out all the time. The poor thing is always howling and
whining when it's left alone. Dogs are social animals and need company.

We have had a noise problem with a neighbours dog for a long while. Whenever
they go out they put the dog in the garden, it has a bed in the garage, but
within 30 mins it starts barking and doesn't stop until they come back.
Often 7pm to 4 am at weekends! Of course the owners never hear it.
Have mentioned the problem to the owners which only stopped it for a few
months, all the other neighbours mention it to me but won't say anything to
the owners.
Finally got the idea to try training the poor thing myself, got a water
pistol, and it gets a shower of water if it barks. It's a bit cheaper than
the ultra-sonic anti-barking trainers at about £100.
So far it seems to be having the right effect. Don't get the continuous
barking we used to.

As a matter of interest what problems are the foxes causing?

Thank you for confirming that suspicion. I've searched newsgroups and found
that pretty well every posting from this person is in much the same vein.


"pretty well"! which ones were not?

What problems are the foxes causing? Where should I start? We can't use
blood, fish and bone to plant perennials, trees, etc, because the foxes
smell it and dig the plants out of the ground to get at it.


You don't need to use it.

They dig holes
not just to bury food but seemingly for the pure joy of it. There is fox
shit everywhere.


Hmm, shame the birds are not such good shots in your area.

The bark chip paths we laid around a new vegetable path
are dug up every night.


Bark chips=fat, lazy slobs who want a garden but cannot be arsed to
work for it and so ugly too.

Why do you think bark chips look better then fox shit? fox shit
certainly degrades quicker..

They dig around the entire perimeter and at spots
where the membrane overlaps. Essentially, we "re-lay" most of these paths
every morning. A temporary reed screen around new hedging has been pretty
well demolished because one entry point through it was not enough for them.
The climbers we want to grow on the wall beside the bedroom window are
continually pulled off their support because that is one of their favoured
spots for coming into the garden. They collect various items from
neighbouring gardens (mostly but not exclusively stuffed toys) and bring
them into our garden. And take stuff from our garden. For example, I left
my favourite leather gloves just inside our patio doors when I came in to
take a telephone call. A few minutes later, I saw the fox running across
the garden with my gloves in its mouth. It had actually come inside the
house to take them. My husband left a pair of gloves outside for a short
time; months later, we dug one of them up in a different part of the garden.
Any rubbish that is not in a covered bin is strewn across the front yard in
the morning. This is a particular problem for us because the top floor flat
is rented, and every time the tenants change it takes a while for them to
understand what will happen if they just leave a bag standing beside the
bins. We have permanent paths across our lawn; efforts to divert them to
other routes have been unsuccessful. I could go on.


Please don't. I have heard bullshit in my time but you take the
biscuit, my original estimate of you was correct, you're a loser.
Move.

Then there is the question of whether other wildlife is being deterred. I
can't prove the foxes are the reason for the decline in bird numbers. We
still get lots of tits, but ground-feeding birds are rarely seen in our
garden anymore.


Crapo.

Finally, they make a lot of noise at night. I work particularly odd and
long hours, and sleep is precious. I would have thought by now I would be
desensitised to their screaming, but I'm not.


Imagine how they must be suffering listening to your snoring! I'm
surprised you can hear anything with your fingers stuck in your ears
all the time!

Foxes only make noises during breeding times (now) don't worry, it
doesnt last long and is not incessant despite your worst fears.

Despite what "Dr. Hammer" says about territories, the number of foxes is
increasing.


Not in your garden they are not, you're lying.

ground nesting and feeding birds were fast disappearing to the foxes.
I think you've done everything you reasonably can to deter the foxes in a
kind manner but I'm not sure the dog is your answer if the foxes have mange.
A farmer in the village where I used to live told me that some well-meaning
but misguided 'townies' had been capturing urban foxes and releasing them
into the wild; the urban foxes had given mange to their country cousins and
to some local sheepdogs, pet dogs, gundogs etc. Of course, it's treatable
but it's very uncomfortable for the dog in the meantime and it's something
your neighbours would have to be aware of.
The only real predator foxes have is man so unless you do something like
allowing this dog into your garden, nothing else is going to make the foxes
go away.
As somebody has said up-thread, talking it over with your neighbours and
having a 'get out' clause is a good idea. Apart from the possible mange
problem, the only downside I can see for you is the risk of dog mess in your
garden and an exuberant dog doing some plant damage. However, it sounds as
if it could hardly be as bad as what you are suffering now, so if you and
the neighbours can agree a trial run, I'd say go for it.

It's not so much the noise level that gets me as it is the sound of an animal
in distress. It's heart breaking to have to listen to the poor thing. Of
course the noise level is a valid point and it probably does annoy some people.

Foxes don't "go away" village idiot, you learn to live with them, in

simply doesn't happen, luckily there are more of us who care for

go away.


Foxes don't "go away" village idiot, you learn to live with them, in
hundreds of years of fox hunting, foxes have never "gone away" it
simply doesn't happen, luckily there are more of us who care for
animals than dopes like you who don't.

As somebody has said up-thread, talking it over with your neighbours and
having a 'get out' clause is a good idea. Apart from the possible mange
problem, the only downside I can see for you is the risk of dog mess in your
garden and an exuberant dog doing some plant damage. However, it sounds as
if it could hardly be as bad as what you are suffering now, so if you and
the neighbours can agree a trial run, I'd say go for it.


I'd recommend moving to cloud cuckoo land, do you have any houses to
let?

1) Tell everyone the Trolls don't bother you.
2) Say you've killfiled them, yet continue to respond.
3) Tell other people off who repsond despite doing so yourself.
4) Continually talk about Trolls while maintaining
they're having no effect.
5) Publicly post killfile rules so the Trolls know
how to avoid them.
6) Make lame legal threats and other barrel scraping
manoeuvres when your abuse reports are ignored.
7) Eat vast quantities of pies.
8) Forget to brush your teeth for several decades.
9) Help a demon.local poster with their email while
secretly reading it.
10) Pretend you're a hard ******* when in fact you're
as bent as a roundabout.
11) Become the laughing stock of Usenet like Mabbet
12) Die of old age
13) Keep paying Dr Chartham his fees and hope one day you
will have a penis the girls can see.

Default Slightly different approach to deterring foxes?

The message
from "Sharon" contains these words:

You cannot live with foxes so they have to be at fault? !!!

Sorry, but you've completely missed the point. In fact, I'm an organic
gardener. I happily welcome birds (including pigeons and magpies),
squirrels, all the creepy crawlies, cats, etc, etc into my garden. Even the
foxes, which I've happily lived with for most of the past 10 years.


Please don't feed the trolls.

Whoever is replying in that vein is not an urgler - it's a sort-of
useless Usenet burglar, and fortunately, is dropping into my killfile
with all the other pollutants.
