How to get rid of smell of fox poo

I have a small front garden with a large area of gravel located just outside one of my bungalow bedrooms. Over the last few months whenever I open this bedroom window there is a very strong unpleasant smell. I often find pooh on this gravel and as we have a family of foxes living around our back garden I assume it's them making this mess as I often hear them at night time.

Just getting rid of the poo isn't enough to get rid of the smell. Does anyone know of anything I can use on the gravel to make it smell better and maybe deter the foxes from crapping there?

When my dog has rolled in it, ketchup works. Honestly. It might also work on the gravel.

As @HappiestSleeping said tomato sauce works on dogs and fox poo so maybe cheap tinned tomatoes? Left on a while then rinsed away?!

Tomato ketchup has vinegar in and it’s the vinegar element that helps with the smell, not so much the tomato element. Vinegar and baking soda and scrub it into the area with a yard broom.
