I got pest control in, to sort a fox problem at the allotment - there was a den next door in a neighbouring garden and the mess it left behind was unbelievable. Pest control's solution was to spray the the area with the scent of a dominate fox every two weeks for 6 weeks. To my surprise, it worked a treat and the fox moved out.
I did ask if it could be caught and released. The answer was no.
Tried the male urine trick.....it didn't work ! Nor did human hair, collected from the hairdressers.
If a fox is causing trouble why do you want it caught and released to cause trouble somewhere else? I can tell you that we don't want your urban foxes in the countryside, thank you very much. They are too used to raiding dustbins to survive in the wild!
theres a company called foxagon who give deterrent advice and the fox project rescue charity. foxes do at least keep the rat population down. if you have one with mange there are various treatments,but the one south essex wildlife hospital send works best.
I used to live on an estate where the gamekeeper swore by the human urine trick, he used both male and female urine to protect the pheasant pens. Failing that he used his .223, but somehow the coppers might not be sympathetic to the latter option, and getting the wife to pee in a bucket might prove a challenge!

Yep! Why not!

I think the human hair and pee are for deer.

anyone know about fox deterrents such as Scoot, or Deter Foxy? what do they contain?
