Getting rid of foxes

[N10k]

I have a problem at the moment with foxes in my garden. Last night they jumped the fence into the garden boarder, kicking up and killing about £30 worth of flowers

Other than killing the fkers, how can I stop them. Are there spikes I cAn get to put on top of the fence?

Thanks

the garden boarder,

You rent out your garden? Weird.

Get some pinks, a horse and a few dogs.

Flout the ban.

Dig some holes install some punji sticks.

Get a BB-gun and shot it in the face. Eat it with some fava beans & a nice Chianti after though to keep the liberals happy.

You need horses and dogs...

[SpydieNut]

have you tried asking them nicely?

Will watch this with interest as I have the same problem.
Was finding bloody great big holes dug under my conifers and plants torn up.

Didn't have a clue what was doing it until I got up in the night and saw the security lights on in the garden highlighting 3 of the feckers trashing everything.

There is some stuff on google but can't find any definite recommendations.

Keep chickens. The foxes will go for the chickens and leave the rest of the garden alone.

Last thing at night throw any food scraps into your neighbours garden, do this on a regular basis and the fox family should settle next door.

You can get sprays and stuff but they fking stink, so either scare them alot (wont work but you'll feel good ), put abigger fence up (very much doubt the spikey strips will work) or change the garden and accept that they will keep coming in

My plan so far is to get some of the carpet beeding. The bits of wood with nails in it. And nail it to the top of the fence. Plan or what

saw some nice caltrops on sale recently, spread them around the problem areas and the foxes will not be back

Gripperrods.

Then get sued when some fking scroat tries to climb over it to burglarise you

Buy a dog.

Generally not interested in border plants, but will fek up your lawn with piss burns and dog turd piles.


But will scare the foxes away.

1) Remove what's attracting them. They must believe there's food available
2) Make it too hard to get into your garden. Raise the fence with some trellis. Carpet gripper if you must - although you'd better growing something spiny up it to avoid controversy. Roses or hawthorn maybe.
3) If all else fails obtain some professional pest control help. They have access to and expertise in the kinds of deterrents and poisons that are necessary - and if you're going to have anything deadly/nasty/horrib in your garden you sure as s**t don't want your kids/pets chowing down on it.
