Fox repellent

[Lu]

Hoping someone can help as I have a fox doing a big pile of poos outside my window. Has anyone used a repellent that actually works? I've tried 'Scoot' and 'Get Off My Garden' but neither work. The fox is doing its business in exactly the same spot virtually every day and I've been told by a specialist that nothing will work. But there must be something surely?? Otherwise I'm condemned to picking up poo every weekend...?

I have lived here for nearly 25 years and have many foxy visitors. I have tried everything! Occasionally I get lulled into a false sense of hopefulness, as something appears to work for a day or 2, but they always come back. I would suggest you wash area with a strong smelling disinfectant. The only thing I have heard is male wee, but don't have a spare male around to regularly 'water' the garden so have never found out if this works!

I also get the same problem with the neighbourhood cats :((

Put down a pile of something prickly such as holly, and see if the fox goes (sic) elsewhere?

Maybe combined with the disinfectant as suggested above?

Get some blokes round for a bbq, ply them with beer and tell them they have to pee in the garden.

I have a gadget called a FoxWatch that I have been using for 8 years now, takes a month or two to work but haven't seen any of the ginger bast*rds in my garden since I got it!

My back garden is currently the sight for an almost nightly fox orgy. I managed to pee in the garden last year and i think it helped.

You don't actually have to pee in the garden.

You can pee in a container (or get somebody else to) and then take it out to the garden.

May avoid trouble from the neighbours :))

Foxes do not purposely go out at night to crap in anyones garden...

... They go out to find food. If they dont find food, they move on.

...I have fed foxes over the years and never had them crap near my house..
