Foxes are omnivores and eat anything including earthworms, grubs and berries. No idea how to stop them though

Might be you've got a chafer or leatherjacket infestation - but if it were those, you'd be seeing birds digging it up as well. Nematode treatments available for both, google Nemesys for information.

Lady.e we have had a lot of trouble with foxes this year, we had a family of five making a mess everywhere and leaving their messages all over the lawn & path and generally making a nuisance of themselves. Well I had heard that if you spread male urine around the foxes will feel threatened by this because its, to them, another animal. Well it has worked a treat, no more mess anywhere.

Well! It's done, just put some on the grass, but as I have a big garden, I will need more to go round, I think my hubby may get a bit peeeed off LOL, just hope it does do the job:o))
Hope no one takes a fence to all this or a gate LOL
Boom! Boom!

Lol. LadyE. we are still doing this in our garden, (well my hubb. is!!) and is really has worked, had no more fox poo for weeks now! Hubb sprinkles his stuff just before bedtime, hilarious !

I was wondering if to pour some over the fence by the foxes den, maybe they would move out LOL they are squatting under my neighbours shed :o))
I just wont tell my neighbour LOL

Funny you should say that, L.e. but that is where our foxes are too, but under our neighbours deck! They do know about it and in fact my hubb has blocked the hole with loads of rubble from our garden and soil and finished it off with a nice edging it does look nice, we know that the foxes had another escape route so we havnt been cruel, but just detering them from coming into our gardens! I would defo. pour some over the fence and anywhere around the garden, it certainley does the trick!

I have been watering the garden with it but the foxes pooped on my new pavers, think they're trying to get their own back LOL Grrrrr! :o§

Now sprinkle where they pooped, but clear up first!! Not a nice job but you have to beat the b's at their own game!! Lol

Mmmm! Think its working as I haven't seen the fox as much but have noticed a few poop's, must fill the holes the dug in the grass and see what happens :o))
