Fox wandered into my living room last night

[yumyumlama]

Yelled at it so it retreated (rather slowly). Shut door between house and conservatory ... And 2 mins later saw had wandered back into conservatory, as casual as you like!

AIBU to call for best ways to deter foxes? Do not want him wandering on in!

Live in Richmond, London btw so this is a semi urban fox ....

[DesignedForLife]

A large dog would probably work.

Shut the conservatory door?

[JellyBelli]

Try a cardboard cutout cat in the doorway, or hang 2 CD's so they look like big eyes. Someone has probably been feding it and its used to people.

[Tiredtomybones]

I have no idea how to stop it, other than keeping doors closed, but I have to say I'd have been terrified

[Boundaries]

Get this guy to stand in the conservatory.

[EttaJ]

Like has been said, shut your door, too obvious?

[Pardonwhat]

A foxhound would probably do it
Foxes are horrid.

[HerdsOfWilderbeest]

Fucking HELLLLL that's horrific. Next thing you know it'll be kicking back in your favourite chair, drinking a gin and tonic and insisting on watching the golf. Takes the piss.

[yumyumlama]

On these lovely summer days I'm loving having the doors open, so feels like a loss of freedom to shut them ,,, do love the idea of putting up a picture of man in red coat, but fear the fox won't react!

Cats .. Do they deter foxes then?

[Muddlingalongalone]

Bloody hell - just been & shut my patio door reading this. I genuinely don't know what I'd do if that happened to me

[yumyumlama]

Doh, dogs not cats ... !!

[KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes]

Awww, I'd give him some food and a name.

Possibly a cat bed and a collar.

[Avebury]

Stair gate in the doorway?

[Boundaries]

Me too, Joffrey.

[BarbarianMum]

No, they're more of a snack.

[Jjacobb]

Awww I love foxes, I would have fed it.

[VilootShesCute]

Don't watch Zoo on Netflix...

[JellyBelli]

I've seen a cat chase a fox away from a food dish

[Northernlurker]

A tough cat wouldn't stand for this but most would be more scared than you

[Seekingadvice123]

Picture of Loathsome Leadsom should do the trick. She hates wildlife.

[Tiptoethr0ughthetulips]

What Joffrey said.

[VilootShesCute]

My cat kicks about with a fox. Neighbour saw them when she peeped out of window at midnight the other night! Trotting along beside one another they were.

[NonnoMum]

Did it 'wander' in? Or was it more of a 'saunter'? the little bastard

[NonnoMum]

Ps I am about as left wing as you get, apart from when it comes to Fox Hunting. I don't mind the posho-s sorting out Mr Foxy on Boxing Day...

[Thecontentedcat]

Supersoaker? Chilli powder in the garden?
