Foxes using our lawn as a toilet

A follow on from the cat version.

If it's not cats but foxes, how do I stop it TIA.

We have the same problem at the moment. Fox 5hit everywhere and it really stinks. Was just about to start researching what can be done to try and prevent it.

This don't seem to be a popular subject does it

My garden is a sea of what I'm almost certain is dog st. I am also interested in solving this problem.

Just had a thought. Keep a plastic bag in your car. Next time you see a dead fox on the road, scoop it up the hang it in your garden. It should keep the blighters out.

We have a number of foxes come through our garden, used to get the odd spraint (I think they're called), but since we started putting some food out, none. And this is in a 1000m2 garden, home to our two cats about four local cats and the foxes.

Most of the crap is from our female cat. She's not that good at burying it, you see.

I had a similar problem with badgers and the odd fox
solution
have a look around the garden find where you think they are commin in, they usually have a set pattern, then piss around that area yourself, this works and is not an old wife's tale, also works on mole hills.
Perhaps do it while your neighbors are out though

Go to B&Q, buy some black netting, costs less than £10. Lay it out over the lawn. Foxes, cats etc can't bear walking over it and will avoid it.
You can hardly see it, and you just lift it off for cutting. Works really well.

I have a Scarecrow to keep the neighbours cats from crapping on the lawn. It's PIR sensor linked to a sprinkler on the end of a hosepipe. I'd tried an ultrasonic cat scarer, pepper, lion poo, and all sorts with no success, but the Scarecrow does a brilliant job, and after it's sprayed them a few times they keep out of the garden for several weeks even if I don't have it turned on.

Only problem is I invariable forget to turn if off before I walk down the end of the garden...

My father used to have a couple of scarers like that. They'd certainly ps off any neighbors within a mile or so
