Just got back from 2 weeks away (left on 7th). Ol' foxy certainly came to visit while we were away, but don't know how often or when. Suspect towards the beginning of our time away, as trashed the sandpit and left lots of stuff on the grass that had clearly been there for some time (just call me Sherlock). Has anyone else had any visits recently?

Hey all - the Fox Watch thing has worked!! Not a sight or sound of the little blighter for a couple of weeks :-)) No poo and no new holes. Anyone else seen him around?

Hi there Karen and Ed,<br />
<br />
I'm presuming you're using the 'scarecrow' thing - does it work? Thinking of getting one as have a problem with constant clearing up of fox poo in the garden. Not great when you have an adventurous toddler. Thanks

Hi Karen. Thanks. I'm diagonally across from you then, behind your neighbours. Maybe we should offer to go in and break up the old shed? I'd be up for it, if others were!

I would be careful about using traps or poison, as they will hurt other animals, cats in particular. We have two foxes who visit our garden everyday and this is because my neighbor's garden is practically a jungle/full of junk and they like to hide there. We had the same problem in our previous flat, where the foxes nested in an abandoned shed. Once the shed got removed and the garden was cleaned up, the foxes moved elsewhere.

Ed's wife here - we're the next one along, the den is next door in an old shed we think - you can here it moving around. Trouble is the neighbours are not well off or in good health, as the council will not do anything they would not be able to afford to pay to get rid. Anyway, the Foxwatch thing went on last night. I saw the fox come over the fence, it activated, the fox jumped in the air and ran off. Have got some Scoot which I will douse the garden and try to get it through the fence into…

Might do the trick. I called a company called Fox Solutions who gave some good advice about how to deter them humanely, last resort is trapping and it doesn't work apparantly (<a href="http://www.foxolutions.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.foxolutions.co.uk/</a>).

Has anyone used Rentokill or other companies to remove foxes in humane traps when foxes are digging up the garden and destroying plants? If so have you got their phone number please? Some plants in the garden have been flattened in the garden and the plants destroyed by foxes;and foxes keep digging down. Also what do you do if neighbours gardens are like a wilderness where foxes live in an overgrown jungle next door,then hop over the fence and wreck your garden.

I just looked Foxwatch up and it sounds great (<a href="http://www.conceptresearch.co.uk/fox_2.htm" target="_blank">here</a> if anyone is interested), but it says the range of the device is only 60 feet. I don't think the fox is in the garden next to yours (you are on the passage, no?) but the next one along from that, which is behind me - so I'm just praying that we are within that range!

we (think we) live next door to foxy's current abode, and we have bought "fox watch's ULTIMATE fox deterrent" which arrived today.<br />
<br />
apparently it protects gardens, dust bins, wildlife and fishponds in an area of up to 1350 sq ft.<br />
<br />
we will set it up tonight and hopefully foxy will move swiftly along.
