Getting Rid of Foxes?

[Withdean and I]

Alpacas work a treat. They seriously hate foxes. I'm an organic egg farmer with lots of hens and although I haven't got Alpacas, but lots of people with outdoorsy hens recommend them. Couple for the back garden?

I'll swap your two foxes for our six badgers, you have no idea what a noise and mess they make some nights.

Infect them with TB, I've heard it works a treat as they'll soon be culled for it

I once asked a gamekeeper the exact same question.

His answer was: pee in some plastic beakers and place them around your garden boundaries. Place some perforated cardboard, weighted down, over the top to prevent the scent dissipating too quickly. Foxes will generally be reluctant to enter anywhere with a strong human scent.

That is correct, when i go night fishing its a good idea to piss near where your bivvy is, as it keep alot of animals away from you.

Depends how hard the cat is. I've seen my old cat (RIP) bolt at a fox and chase it out of the garden before.

Now that's hard!

And a lot of other fishermen too I would think.

You want to llive near me my bloody neighbour puts out fresh meat bones at night to feed the bloody things along with also feeding the sodding seagulls might consider respraying my car to be bird shit colour just to cut out the middle man!

I have sympathy with you there as I have a neighbour who feeds them too.

Trouble is they shit in my garden which pisses me off somewhat, six foot fence all around or not.

The foxes that is, not the seagulls !

Get dressed up and lay in wait for them its your territory!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Do what I do. Live in the countryside. We don't see many foxes round our way. Lewes Road, Brighton, where I work, seems to have hundreds of them, though.

 

[Gullys Cats]

A shotgun or just piss all over your garden.

If you get really desperate give Ian holloway a
Call, he got rid of the foxes for a couple of years.

 

[Falkor]

Another reason why the ridiculas ban on fox Hunting should be over-turned.

That or get a pig. Haven't seen a fox on my land in years but have spotted them running through nextdoors fields

Be prepared for a fire fight

I found the product "Scoot" very effective. It's a powder which you mix with water, then spray on your garden. Robert Dyas in Western Road stock it, or you can buy it on the web (eg Amazon).

Bit of a silly quote. I don't think packs of hounds and toffs on Horses riding through the suburbs is really the answer do you.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

This one did work but foxes are probably too domesticated now, go to the barbers and ask for the day's hair sweepings. Put this into some tights and tie on your fences, the fox smells human and doesn't enter. Like I say did work but I bet they'd take no notice now.

 

[Seagull58]

There are two foxes that frequently appear in my garden during the day, just making a nuisance of themselves and destroying plants etc... plus they freak out my family, and we can't leave any doors open unattended in case they come in.

Any sensible suggestions to "get rid" that I can realistically do, or anyone to contact who deals with "relocating" them?

Get Sven in to manage them. The last foxes he took over were soon broke and dropped out of sight for a while.

What about if they were not 'toffs', would that be ok?

You don't need to go into the suburbs to start having an effect on the fox population. It can start in the countryside and will have a knock on effect.
