How do you get rid of foxes?

Question

I seem to have a problem with foxes they come in to my garden during the day and at night is there anyway to stop them as they are using my garden as a toilet. Thanks

Answer 1

double barrelled shotgun

Answer 2

I find a .223 does the job. Your round Mr fox.

Answer 3

Hi

I have chickens so i know the problem they can cause.  I found a great remedy, foxes do not like the scent of humans but hair was not enough.  If you have a male in your family who is happy to urinate around the garden this will stop them coming in.  It has to be male though as it is something to do with testosterone which keeps them away.

Answer 4

Bring back fox hunting. Never had this problem when it was legal, however I don't agree with fox hunting, I love seeing them in my garden.

Answer 5

Nylon tights stuffed with human hair - hang some on the fence or bushes - they don't like the scent.

Answer 6

I realise it can be difficult. Its especially not nice if they're going to the toilet in your garden.

Bring them round to my house, as I love foxes! We have a whole family of them that live behind our fence in the field. They really are beautiful creatures. I saw one just now, walk along the street in broad daylight! Its would be a shame to chase them away...

Answer 7

Make sure that there is nothing in your garden that can attract them. Are you sure that it is the foxes that are pooing in your garden, could be dogs, cats etc.? Foxy will only be coming into your garden looking for food so don't leave out food for birds, however foxes do eat slugs and snails so if you are overrun with them that could be the attraction. You can buy an electronic device in hardware stores that is said to deter them, could be worth a try.

Answer 8

go to them naked and offer your body as a sacrifice so they can be tamed and stay away

Answer 9

air rifle

i'll never forgive them for what they did to my ducks....

why not set up an underground illegal foxhunt..

Answer 10

Fencing. Netlon fence or similar. Make it a bit harder and they may go somewhere else.
