To poison these bloody foxes??

[curiousgeorgie]

Everyday I wake up to rubbish all over my garden and driveway... Foxes shit on my decking and today my doormat!!!

The whole place stinks and it's getting ridiculous. They live in the bit behind my garden because our back neighbours have fenced off the weeds at the back of theirs...

My next door neighbours feed them. 3 times a day from a plate on their decking. Whole loaves of bread and pieces of meat and blocks of cheese...

I just want to get rid of them. Day one when we saw four baby foxes running around our garden we thought it was lovely, but now it's totally ridiculous. I have a 1 year old and a 3 year old and every morning I have to go out and clean and hose before my daughter can go out.

It must be okay to poison them or something right??

I completely understand why you are annoyed, OP, but I am not sure it's actually legal in this country for you to poison the foxes. Is it possible for you to put some barbed wire or other similar thing at what you believe to be entry points for these foxes instead?

I bought and installed this to deal with neighbours' cats using my garden as their loo - www.amazon.co.uk/Contech-ScareCrow-Motion-Activated-Deterrent/dp/B005MW9VOM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406025495&sr=8-1&keywords=cat%20deterrent%20water&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

Seems to be working. Don't know how effective it is for foxes though.

YANBU - I'd shoot the bastards if I was allowed. Filthy vermin.
