What will keep foxes away?

If you've seen a fox near your property, and want to keep it away, a barrier is quite effective in keeping these canines off your land. Run a chain link fence that's at least six feet high around the area you want to protect, and be sure to bury hardware cloth at least 12 inches into the ground, as foxes are diggers.

Why do foxes poop on my doorstep?

Scent marking
The more prominent the scent-mark, the more likely other foxes will smell the message. That's the reason foxes often poo on top or in the middle of things, like the centre of the lawn, on paving slabs or garden furniture, as well as around the perimeter.

In some gardens foxes cause damage by trampling plants, eating ripening fruits, digging holes or leaving droppings and food debris. A fox may dig up new plants, especially where bonemeal, dried blood or chicken pellet manure has been used. Foxes smell these materials and dig down searching for food.

Does fox urine deter rats?

There is no magic spray or device that you can use to make rodents in the attic or house go away. Some people try to sell various rat or mouse repellants such as predator urine, such as coyote or fox urine to get rid of mice, but that doesn't work. These devices are worthless at eliminating rats.
