how to send foxes away

lll1981

any idea how can i send the foxes away from my back garden？ foxes visit my back garden every night， poo everywhere. Was seeing the fox family during the day as well， the little one ate a bird in my garden. All houses in my area have hedges as fence，so no way to block.

Try leaving a clear plastic bottle full of water in the garden. It sounds silly, but people tell me it works for cats and foxes. Just take the labels off a Ballygowan bottle, fill it with with water, put the lid back on, and put it on its side under the hedge. you might need more than one to do the job. Once the foxes stop considering your garden to be their territory, you can take the bottles up.
If it was my garden, I'd be delighted to have the company of a family of foxes!

Foxes will keep coming back if they can get in as your house is in their teritory and a well used part of it by the sounds of things. Are you in the country? Local gun club would help id imagine

that bottle thing does not work, people say the same method for cats,dogs etc, its like one of them old wives tales.
