Can you help me get rid of this fox?!

[DannyOD]

There is a fox who is constantly hanging around my house. At first I thought it was lovely but he has started crapping all over the place - today was on top of my wheelie bin!!! He has also become rather over familiar and I would not put it past him to try and get in if the opportunity arose. How can I put him off my house/garden?

i read once that getting a male (human) to pee all over your garden will put them off

I used Jeyes Fluid to clean crapped-on places (and I hoped the smell might deter), and also it spurred me to clear parts of the garden I thought might be enticing. Which was a pity as I'd left some places to be 'wild' to encourage wildlife, but foxes weren't what I'd hoped for!

If you have a hard surface, chuck down a handful of those kids' snaps (little paper twists with a pinch of powder in). Like these
Won't harm Mr fox, but done a couple of times might scare him off a bit (and cheaper than one of those sprinkler systems that sense movement).

There is some stuff called Scoot that is designed to deter foxes that you water on boundaries and areas where they poo. Not sure how long it lasts but amount of fox poo around DD's garden seems to have diminished since we used it. It's quite readily available - a quick google will tell you suppliers

The zoo sells lion shit. That puts them off.

Thanks for all your replies. Will see if I can find some Scoot, preferable to dh peeing all over the garden!!

I've heard that lion poo works too.

I've only got a tabby cat - doubt the same applies!! :-)

Agree male urine does the trick.

Would Silent Roar work?

chilly powder works a bit.
