Getting Rid of Foxes?

[mune ni kamome]

I once asked a gamekeeper the exact same question.

His answer was: pee in some plastic beakers and place them around your garden boundaries. Place some perforated cardboard, weighted down, over the top to prevent the scent dissipating too quickly. Foxes will generally be reluctant to enter anywhere with a strong human scent.

Don't do this after a Friday night on the lash though or it has the opposite effect and you get foxes and winos in your garden

this will do a job

Get Ade Akinbiyi in, he makes Foxes completely harmless.

See if you can borrow a honey badger for a day or to. Any animal entering your garden in that period will not survive!

This one did work but foxes are probably too domesticated now, go to the barbers and ask for the day's hair sweepings. Put this into some tights and tie on your fences, the fox smells human and doesn't enter. Like I say did work but I bet they'd take no notice now.

Can you imagine being the first person to try stuffing a pair of tights with human hair, and tying them to your fence? And then explaining it to the neighbours? Or the barber, come to that?

Head shot seems to do the job

he said sensible

Sorry to here about your cat ,most cats are more than capable of looking after themselves when there are fox's about im afraid it the road which is the biggest killer of cats.
Keep you fingers crossed its been shut in somewhere and will return home soon

you must have heard me ....good sensible post that

Foxes rule. Love nature.

is the right answer

Foxes do not like human urine ......so pee in your garden once in a while

Do Foxes attack cats ?

Sadly Cookie one of our cats has been missing for two weeks now and is very much missed here especially by her sister Ava.

have a look at my signature
she is ace and will give you great advice

Yes a fox can take a cat, unfortunately seen it happen, not very nice. And peeing round your garden does work a friend of mine that has chickens was having problems with foxes and this seems to have sorted it, though you have to keep the pee perimeter regularly refreshed..

Depends how hard the cat is. I've seen my old cat (RIP) bolt at a fox and chase it out of the garden before.

fox will only take a cat if it is absolutely desperate and this has happened rarely in urban areas or if a cat is weak or ill.
a fox seems to know instinctively that a cat even if killed in a fight with a fox will if scratched or bitten by a cat its immune system cannot cope with any bacterial infection it is given by the cat and will die within a week or so.
its not a question being hard so much as being accurate
and believe me if you have ever tried to trap and handle a feral cat or for that matter any cat....you will know just how accurate they can be

Sorry to hear that.

Our cat doesn't actually mind the foxes, and likewise. He'll sit at the top of the garden step and they can be within a foot of each other and neither seemed bothered by each others presence.

My Grandad, who was a great story teller, said it was discovered after people left their jackets etc behind. Then, instead of leaving your jacket you'd somehow concoct an idea to go to the barber's and stuff human hair in Ladies tights!

Bit of a silly quote. I don't think packs of hounds and toffs on Horses riding through the suburbs is really the answer do you.

Most fox hunting people are not toffs, but farmers using a thousand-year-old tried and tested sport to keep fox numbers down. Ignorant townies don't understand this, hence the growing fox population is emigrating to towns and back gardens and interfering with town life. If the ignorant townies had stopped interfering with the countryside, then the countryside would not be interfering with the townies.

Oh do f*** off, tried and tested sport FFS, its a bunch of mentally challenged blood-thirsty fcukwitted inbred toofs hooning around the fields gettting there rocks off by ripping innocent indigenous animals apart. I grew up on the Pevensey Levels, so you can stick the ignorant townies one up your Clegg-hole!

Your CA wankers make me want to self-harm!

And what do foxes do, just for fun? They rip other innocent indigenous animals apart.

Thats what wild animals do though, its called survival of the fittest, evolution, darwinism etc etc - there is a big difference between that and a bunch of pissed up toffee-nosed savages riding around the countryside with a pack of slavering hounds intent on finding a poor fox to rip into a million pieces!

Cliche talk.

Are you this stupid in real life as well?

That counts you out then, sadly. Do you actually go out of your way to be so loathsome, or does it just come naturally?

To be fair, foxes are one of a rare breed of animals that just kill for the hell of it, rather than just for food. If they can get into a chicken run, they will kill everything in sight rather than take just one bird.

I live in a semi rural location and get foxes, deer, badgers, squirrels and hedgehogs in the garden all the time. I used to leave scraps out for the fox, as it looked quite cute with it's frolicking cubs. One day, by way of a thank you, it crapped on the plate I left the scraps on, so that was the end of that.

 

[glasfryn]

foxes started coming into urban area's because most urban dwellers leave their rubbish lying around and its an easy meal.
and I can only agree with some of the previous posters about the killing of foxes by hunters
it is as someone once said the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable
