Mr Foxy what do I do.

[Tashyboy]

The other day, young son Tash gets up for work, drops out a day or two later that Mr Fox was on the back garden. He says he was a big bogger. I told him he was still tired and it must of been a ginger moggy. He was adamant it was a fox.
I spent 5 mins telling him how me back garden is Zombie, thief and fox proof.
Young Bradley tash then shows Missis Tash an hole in me fence where Mr Fox has chewed a sodding great chunk outta me fence to get in. Well ave blocked that up. Just had a look to see what fence lats need to be replaced and the soddin Fox has dug an hole under me gate.
At the moment I feel like a badass Dr Doolittle what wi me Bees and now foxes. I do put food on the back garden for Hedgehogs, Birds etc but never expected Mr Fox to Top trump everything.

So what do I do, leave it as it is, tell him to sod off or que Serra Serra.

To paraphrase Jasper Carrott; "There's only one way to get rid of a fox………. blow its bloody head off".

Tashy, if it wants to be there then short of killing it you will not stop it being there. And if you're putting food out then it probably wants to be there. The ones down here have learnt how to open the "lockable" waste food bins…...

Foxes are getting more and more confident around people. Don't corner it; they can give you a nasty nip needing a quick visit to the quacks to get a tetanus booster. Leave it alone and they'll do the same to you. Stop putting food out and it'll find easier pickings somewhere else.

No advice Tashy,but we have a family of Foxes living in one of our horses fields.
They've never caused us any trouble,nice when we get a sighting.
Don't think I'd like them in my garden tho.

Give the local hunt a call.

I used to leave food out until I realised that the rats were getting the biggest share.

 

[CheltenhamHacker]

This op so reminds me of a very old Jasper Carrot sketch about moles...

Shoot it in the bum with an air pistol. Do it often enough, and you wont see it again.

This works with badgers, but it has to be male widdle, not lady wee, the reason is the pheromones it gives off, if it can smell a larger male predator it might go away,

my neighbour widdles into a watering can and spreads it about his border, no foxes or badgers and he has lovely yellow roses too

out of interest where does he do the widdle, in the garden or toilet.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

I believe its his shed, but I have not witnessed the event, just the after sprinkle
