We have an issue with foxes at the moment, especially this year. They are sh****ng everywhere, digging up the garden, p****ng on the grass and also wind up my dog - who then decides to rocket about the lawn causing craters.

We can see them on the cameras and have had it where they have tried to get into the house. There a few young ones and a pretty fat older one.

Anyone have any luck with deterrents or something to make them avoid the property? We have a combination of stone walls, wooden fences, picket fence and driveway.

The latest thing we are trying is a motion activated sprinkler (couple of days).

The wife has veto'd a BB gun and the ultrasonic thing did nothing aside from irritate the dog.

The neighbours dogs barks and runs after them in their garden, but they still go in there, and the little Cocakpoo has little hope of catching one. Unfortunately our dog is 40mph murder rocket and likely to catch one, and then we'll have mega vet bill.
