Hi, my friend has a pretty, smallish in town garden, that is being overrun by a family of foxes, she doesn't want them there. She tried jeyes fluid at various points, but they are all back. Any good tried and tested  ideas to make them dislikeh garden.
Thanks Gill.

    A water squirter attached to a hose which is movement triggered.

    @gilliang67 please ask your friend not to use that indiscriminate poison, it just kills all life in the garden. Don't even know why it's still available.

    I should just say in her defence, the jeyes fluid was on soaked rags on the end of sticks, and, jeyes is excellent for disinfecting my poultry house, from dreaded red mite.

    Are there cubs? If so please wait until they have parted from the parents before doing anything. Then in summer use the water method. No chemicals are necessary for foxes and it won’t work on them. You can send the fixes to me - I adore them!
