Got a bloody fox that comes right up to my patio door looks at me in the room then craps on my steps. Does it every night, and if he's found a curry somewhere sometimes more than once a night.
I dont want to kill him (i think its legal) but how can I get rid of the little stter.

Ask him, politely, to jog on to The Lounge?


ETA

Unless it's a VW Polo Fox, in which case I apologise because you are in the right section.

Mark your territory and crap on the patio before he does.

Contact your local zoo and ask if you can have some lion crap, spread that around. No idea if this works, but should be an interesting experiment (and phone call) biggrin

I've got 2 foxes in the field next to mine. Friendly little buggers really. However, the cats will see them off if they come into the garden, which is funny to watch! hehe

A big male Bullmastiff does a good job.

I use good old white moth-balls off ebay to dissuade cats from crapping in the garden. As the mothballs tend to dissolve in rain, I hang them in old onion mesh bags under plants so the smell is there but they last longer. It works to a reasonable degree with cats but I don't know about a fox's sense of smell.

Shout at him "you shiv on the floor, 50 euros."

Preferably whilst holding a drowned dog.

And under certain circumstances, neither will the neighbours smile

Shoot it. I do!
A .246 or .250 will obliterate it.
A .22 rimfire is too light but a .22 centre fire should be enough.
