Lollipop Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 It is driving my dogs (and me and no doubt my neighbours) bonkers. The dogs are barking and digging at the deck trying to get at it. Unfortunately it is in the far corner and cannot be seen or reached. I assume it is a fox as it has been there two days. Just hope it is not a vixen who plans to have her babies there! Does anyone know the best way to persuade a fox that this is not a good place to live?

Salsaboy Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Put a hosepipe through or under the decking and let it run for a couple of hours at full flow.

The Minkey Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 If it has been there for two days without coming out, it may be sick or injured. Mating season doesn't typically start til January. You definitely don't want foxes living under your decking so once you've got it out, make sure to secure it so they can't move back in.

Blah Blah Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Try contacting a wildlife rescue centre to come and get it and have a look. If it is injured or ill they will take care of it. They can also just humanely relocate it too. Hose pipes and other methods to drive it away in fear will not help the animal.Try these guys,http://www.londonwildlifeprotection.org.uk/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/52054-how-do-i-persuade-a-fox-living-under-deck-to-move-elsewhere/#findComment-803462 Share on other sites More sharing options...
