Slightly different approach to deterring foxes?
The message
from "Sharon" contains these words: 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. They dig holes not just to bury food but seemingly for the pure joy of it. Maybe after earthworms and grubs, or possibly voles. There is fox shit everywhere. The bark chip paths we laid around a new vegetable path are dug up every night. They dig around the entire perimeter and at spots where the membrane overlaps. Essentially, we "re-lay" most of these paths every morning. Earthworms again. 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. Foxgloves - hmmmm. 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. 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. Well, be consoled that when the vixen has mated, she will shut up. But: There will be lots of ickle foxes.... Despite what "Dr. Hammer" says about territories, the number of foxes is increasing. We shoot around thirty or forty of them on four farms each year. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Slightly different approach to deterring foxes?
The message
from Sacha contains these words: Some time last year there were reports that an animal sanctuary that was taking in foxes was having a major row with its supporters because it was considering bringing in marksmen to shoot foxes. Whether they ever did or not, I don't remember reading but like you, they had found that a lot of 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. Add to that the inability of urban foxes to hunt in the wild, so they slowly starve to death. It is against the law to release foxes into the wild. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

There are 5,986,950,449 people poorer than me If you're really interested I am the 13,049,551 richest person in the world. And I'm keeping the bloody lot. So sue me. http://www.globalrichlist.com/ Newsgroup ettiquette 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. --------------------------------------- "If you would'nt talk to them in a bar, don't *uckin' vote for them" "Australia was not *discovered* it was invaded" The Big Yin.
