jeemes 5,082 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 I was in conversation with a close friend earlier about foxes their lifestyle etc. Anyway he mentioned cups of human urine were used around pheasant pens to keep foxes away and it worked. Apparently they detest the smell of human urine. Never heard of it before and I've no reason to doubt the him either, as there's not many about with the knowledge he has. I'm only posting just out of interest btw. May lead to a decent discussion. The only way I know to repel them is with a terrier lol. The best ever fox repellant is wire,especially if it is made into a loop,lead works but is time consuming,terriers work well enough,yet they need to find them,wire works 24hrs a day,even if you piss on it. Thats one thing I would support a ban on...and Ive set a few myself. 1 Quote Link to post

neil cooney 10,416 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Whippet, it's one thing pissing at an earth (or as I do, let a terrier in the length of it's chain) and the vixen will have them gone the next morning. But she'll still go for the same food source so now you'll still have your problem vixen but wont know where she's gone. I move cubs every year by letting a terrier disturb the earth but only if I think they're not a problem and some trigger happy lad might see them, but if they're a problem then I use the terrier, but of the chain this time. 1 Quote Link to post
