Question:

How can I get rid of foxes at my cottage?

In the last couple of days, the foxes around our cottage have become increasingly bold. At first, it was just at dusk, but now they are coming out in mid-afternoon....sniffing around the lawn, and even coming up on our deck. I do not think they are rabid.

I have a 14 week old Sheltie pup and obviously am concerned about the safety of the pup.

Our cottage is on an island so live-trapping would be difficult. Is there any way of scaring them off, without having to resort to more "permanent" action?

  1. they like you thats why they are there your sheltie will also be giving the good will feelings out as well kind regards


  2. The Scare Crow she's talking about is a very good idea.  Also, be sure you keep all your puppy food inside the house.  If food is left out on the porch it will definitely attract unwanted guests, apparently including fox.

  3. The coolest things I have ever seen for scaring animals away are Scare Crows. I have only seen them online. Just make sure you shut off the water before you let your puppy out.

    I'm not sure how they would work with fox, but they work great with the deer in our yard.
