Does anyone have any tips on how to deter foxes from cr*pping all over the lawn?

electronic beeper things - fantastic. We used to have real problems but since we've been using it (severa years now) we only ever get left deposits if one of hte kids has left a garden chair or something in the way of the beam. It's called Foxwatch

foxes are cautious of the smell of large, aggressive, male carnivores.

Give DH a big steak and get him to pee round the garden. Also cut his sweaty vest up and tie pieces to the fence.

Get a friend/neighbour with a male dog to bring it round to wee in your garden

What PigletJohn means is get him to pee in a jug and then sprinkle it round the lawn.

Not get arrested for getting your todger out in the front garden Grin

why bother with a jug when I already have a spinkler?

I was just telling DP about your method involving a large steak PigletJohn and he asked if he's allowed to have a bottle of wine with it?

PigletJohn · 11/09/2012 21:37

it might change the scent Sad

How about a pint of Stella or can of Carling? Would that be more fitting for a "large, aggressive, male carnivore" Wink

PigletJohn · 11/09/2012 21:59

best not to risk it

SlinkyPebbles · 12/09/2012 22:00

Perhaps he could just wave his snooker cue around while sprinkling Norbert?
