Fox Trouble

[Mudball]

** not related to Foxholer in any ways **

Over the past few months, we are seeing increasing fox activity in the garden. I am fine with wildlife - fox, cats, squirrels et al having a good time in the garden.. However, looks like they need some toilet training. The fox(s) seem to be pooing on the lawn in the back garden and now in the front garden. Is there any natural remedy to get them not to go around s**ing in the garden. Not looking to put up electronic alarms or anything.

PS: i told you this was nothing to do with our Foxy

Buy it a dictionary, and highlight "exclamation mark."

Alternatively, if there's a zoo local to you, go and ask if you can have a bag of lion poo. It will also keep the local tom cats away.

Lure the pest into the open with a poorly written post...incorrect use of there, their they’re or maybe an inaccuracy at the molecular level. Then BLAM!! .22 rifle should do it.

😜

*edit Hobbitses just beat me to the gag! ☹️

If you're happy to have nature in your garden then you're going to have to put up with the poop....

We had a problem with foxes living under a garden shed; and like your foxes causing damage and being a nuisance - fox poo stinks 😷
Phoned up the RSPCA for advice and they said foxes hate creosote, so paint it at their access points or they could come and shoot them !!
We got a dog instead - but they just teased her 😂
After a year or so they disappeared, and we rarely see one now.
Squirrels are the current vandals.

Very harsh audience.... i could print out a few names and hang it in the garden.. more potent than creosote!!!

Get a Staffie
No foxes dared enter my garden when I had mine, he was excellent at keeping those grass and flower bed crappers out, and those that did.....lets just say not all of them made it out

There seems to be a bigger problem with urban foxes than rural one nowadays. I guess there is easier pickings in towns with the high level of litter and discarded take-out meals. I wonder what the anti-hunt brigade will make of it when there has to be a cull in suburbia!

I'm anti hunt, but people shouldnt be feeding them because they "look cute" which is what a certain few houses do in my area.

cull your neigbours instead

Throw dog food over your garden fence and they will poo in your neighbours garden.

Very tempting

Air pistol. It won't hurt them, but it does give them a bit of a wake up call.

Well they seem to be doing their business at night.. also won’t that wake the neighbours

I had that problem at work, a few years ago.
Lion poo was not readily available so I used human hair instead!
Go to a local hair salon and ask for lots of hair, then cut the feet off a few pairs of old tights, fill them up with the hair and nail them on the fence around your garden.
It got rid of the foxes in just a few days.
Good luck.

Has to be male hair, female hair is no good

Look on E-Bay you can get an electric fence for under £100.

Most of the hair was Mrs Slime's, and she definitely female!

Or do what I will do in time, and rescue another Staffie
Loyalty and a garden free of cats and foxes, and also keeping those green of way and CO2 free
