walshie 2,804 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) I've tried most of the suggested remedies, but can't find any that work. Much as I enjoy getting up at the crack of dawn to shoot the blighters, the garden is already damaged and stinking by then so I would prefer it if they didn't come here in the first place. Anyone got any (sensible) suggestions to keep my garden fox free? Cheers. Edited October 8, 2012 by walshie Quote Link to post

I'd like to keep them out in the first place. Quote Link to post

Jaggsy 25 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Walshie you may live in an area that's fairly well populated with foxes, i would just pre bait a safe area and cull the numbers back. I've shot foxes in gardens and they've never had a problem since. Martin Quote Link to post
