Have had a couple of foxes getting a bit too comfortable in our garden of late - digging up flower baskets, digging a hole under our fence and leaving a full sunflower, roots and all, dug up from next door in our garden and leaving little presents on our doorstep (and also, oddly, a water bottle).

Anyone have any tips on how to get rid off them (humanely)? Sure I have seen similar threads on here in the past..

The Fox Project is a fantastic organisation and offer the following advice on their website https://foxproject.org.uk/pages/deterrence

 

I've contacted them via Facebook regarding non urgent fox welfare queries and they've been super responsive and helpful.

Thank you for this. 

I've got three large holes dug by foxes in a very small garden! I haven't seen any actual foxes or any other sign of them.

I think it's possible they may have been after ground nesting bees, as one of the holes is in a place I had white tailed bees nesting in the past.

I've ordered some Scoot (found it cheapest on eBay with free delivery).

Soak a cloths in jeyes fluid and leave them where the foxes frequent. The smell drives them away 

It would probably drive everyone else away as well, though - I like to sit in my garden!

As wonderful as The Fox Project is, contacting them should be limited to emergency cases only. Specially at the moment, as they need all the help they can get to support foxes sustaining life-threatening injuries.

Fox Angels will help if you find an injured fox or need help to remove a fox from your house.

They have locally (to ED) based volunteers and in my experience are very quick to respond if you message them via  their Facebook page.

I sadly had a dying fox in my garden one year, and no other organisation I tried could help. Fox Angels took him to a vet (sadly he couldn't be saved)

Respectfully, the Fox Angels Foundation need all the volunteers they have to tend to emergency call-outs, & should not be used as a fox deterrent service unless the fox is in danger. Forward all fox deterrent concerns to Fox-A-Gon so not to overwhelm these rescues.

I wasn't suggesting they should be used as a fox deterrent service!

I thought I had explained that in my post.

I posted information about them and what they do because you had posted about The Fox Project!
