Aha! Great stuff, I'll get the OH on to that tonight then (not sure how keen he'll be though)

Bambywamby - ferrets.... trying to weigh up what is more troublesome, pesky fox or smelly ferret. I'll have a think on that one

Thanks for the replies.

I think this may work
stick a few old cd/dvd in the soil around the veg patch... the shiny surface is suppossed to scare them away!!

Get him indoors to produce a sample into a bottle, if it's the spray kind he can then go and apply it where needed. Saves curious neighbours discussing odd habits!

The 'male wee' thing really works, my daughter had a fox bothering her rabbits and since her OH did the 'wee thing' no sight or sound of the fox.. luckily her garden is fairly secluded , well unless the old girl next door was hanging outta her bedroom window at 1am:rotfl:

twiglet98 - Hahah, yes. Good idea re the spray bottle. The neighbours will think he's gone bonkers.

tanith - Glad to hear it really works. The fox we have is so brazen, not even scared off when we try and shoo it away!

get some terriers and leave them out in the garden overnight, the fox wont come back

Can anyone advise me how to get rid of foxes {without shooting them] we have the 2 parents and 2 juniors who come into my garden every night and cause chaos,they are messing all over the lawn and destroying anything in sight.Any advice would be welcome i have been all around my garden and am sure they are not living within my property,we live on the outskirts of an estate.

Would a fence do it? What kind of damage are they doing?

you can start offby urinating all over the fences

I have a 6ft fence and over 60 conifers around the boundary,they have ripped up patio cushions ,broke open bags of compost and generally fouling the lawn.I have seen them scale the fence and jump on next doors shed roof and tear the felt.
