I've tried red devil, believe me I have but they just can't get the hang of putting the lid down after and insist on wiping their behinds with the squirrels after, who now look like a grey and brown skunk (and smell like it too)


Let's face it there is no training them !

try beating them at their own game and peeing on your garden.


1. Human scent marking


This is by far the most widely suggested method and this is almost certainly because it is simple, effective, readily available and completely free. Foxes mark their territories by urinating around the perimeter and for all their bad press foxes do seem to at least respect the territories of neighbouring groups so it won?t take a great leap of imagination to understand why this works so well. There are two methods of human scent marking that are well used and both can be extremely effective. The first involves collecting human hair (male works best), either your own after a trim or by asking at your local barbers. Stuff some into a pair of old tights and hang them around the margins of your garden. The other involves directly mimicking a fox?s territorial behaviour by the application of male urine to your boundaries ? you can choose whether you apply directly or, more discreetly, fill a container for later use. If you don?t fancy peeing on the primroses then Scoot Fox Repellant work on a similar principle.

Despite a relatively dry month and a bit, the temptation has been too strong and I can confirm I am now back on the juice. Sat in the lounge (literally), supping a very drinkable C?te du Rhone. Happy Friday to one and all!

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?

      Looking for good wifi suggestions please!

      By Sophie12345 · Posted

      Hi everyone, thanks so much for taking the time to come back on my thread - hearing all your responses has been very helpful.    I’ve tried some of the suggestions you shared about how to improve the connection but they don’t seem to make too much difference so I think we are probably in a dead spot unfortunately. I’ll keep trying though and hopefully it will get a bit better.    Coincidently, I found out yesterday that BT fibre broadband is coming to East Dulwich soon which should much improve the WiFi signal available in the area so I’m planning to switch to that as soon as it arrives. Fingers crossed! If you’re interested to hear how it is, feel free to message me and I can let you know.    Thanks again for all your help!

      Venue hire suggestions

      By beansprout · Posted

      If you want to self cater and do it yourself, why not try one of the rooms in a church..  one I am thinking about has a huge room with kitchen and toilets… parking on site.. and another one worth considering is the church near Dulwich Library , top of Barry Road..  pm if you want more info and of course.. all the pubs on Lordship Lane. if you want further afield, Rosendale Pub has rooms above bar area that you can also hire…  Alleyns Head also good - section off a section of the pub for  your sole use and parking on site.. although,might not work if try want to dance and play there own music. Kingwood House might also be worth considering…
