If you have chickens you can shoot it, as its worring you chickens, a fox is vermin, just shoot it and that be it.
 when are townies and animal lovers going to realize that a fox is an Alpha predetor,and needs controling.

Agreed shooting is the best solution.  When I had the farm the b*ggers had my ducks - shot 3 of them one night :y

Found a fox in my chicken run tonight. Little git had killed one. Was right there in front of us I just didn't have something to hand to hit the feking thing with. If the rozzers are being a pain in the arse leave a steak out laced with rat poison. That will do the trick.Has we keep chucks and are planning on keeping more live stock I'm planning to apply for my gun license. Don't need nothing big a 4/10 should do the job. Oh and no I don't live in an estate.

As said shoot it. If you really dont want to get yourself some heavy duty chicken wire and some quick setting post cement Make a load of noise to scare the fox away from the hole then cover with chicken wire and pour the cement around the bottom of the wire to hopefully stop them digging underneath. Also check to make sure no other holes around the area because their normaly have a in and out.  :y

Box in the base of the shed with chicken wire and leave a gas heater on in the shed for a couple of days. The carbon monoxide should sort it with the minimum of fuss :-\

You say it is digging up the garden, are you sure it is a fox ? The only thing that dug small holes in our lawn was a badger. We have a family of foxes that visit our garden, but never have they dug in the garden. The badger on the other hand tunneled under neigbours garage and dug holes in the lawn about1.5 inces wide by 3-4 inches long. It was a young badger.

Please don't put poison down where cats can get it  :(

get a cage trap bait it and shoot the fox,

dont use an air rifle they are unlikely to kill it outright, a .22rf makes a better job, with or without the cage.

Had a similar problem here for the past 2 years.

Fox has decided take up residence at the back of our shed on a patch of waste ground between us and the boundary line to neighbours.Lasy summer we saw it most days sunbathing on the shed roof then later we saw it with severla young.They make a mess in the garden,smell like hell and scream at night.

Got really fed up with it so looked at all the options mentioned ,but problem is we have 2 cats that my wife wouldn,t dream of having poison left out .Eventually rang council to enquire if they could do simething as we considered them pests.We were told that they didn,t remove them and we would need to speak to a pest controller.

Found a guy who specialised in vermin control who said he would set traps in the garden at £75 then once the fox was caught he would "dispose " of it for another £75.I looked on fleabay and you can pick up the caged traps for £25/£35 then sell them on when used so that may be the way we go this year as really getting fed up with them in our garden.

Have tried the "pee" approach and it doesnt work,but I think once they have taken a den even if you get ride of one set they will return .

it would be....but so is removing them from where you found them as foxs ( also squirrels) are hugely territorial and will fight untill there death.So all in all a pest control expert is the way to go :y
Title: Re: fox problem
Post by: amba on 27 February 2013, 13:31:28
Do think its an ongoing problem though....get ride of 1 or several dependant on the family size,and before you know it another crowd move in.

A readily available food supply is why they make their homes so thats the only sure way of totally stopping it ,but in my case thats impossible as our back garden is the boundary of a large school field/wooded area and the school kitchen wheelie bin area is a ready made take away

Yep,I'm with Albitz on this one,because some of the things suggested on here makes me wonder about the human race in general,nothing like putting a bit of poisoned meat down,what about domestic pets and other innocent wild life,anti freeze in water FFS! GET A GRIP PEOPLE it's a small feral dog.I live right on the edge of open country side...'get orf moy laand' and the fox problem is minimal because most end up as  road pizza very quickly.Possibly the farmers get a few, but foxes here  usually don't like to be any where near humans and when ever I see one its seen me long before that and it disapears 'just like that' :o I do accept that urban foxes are a problem but trying to figure out the most lingering and painfull way of killing one and more than likely illegal is really not what a car forum is for IMO. ::)
Title: Re: fox problem
Post by: amba on 27 February 2013, 13:47:39
Thats why I suggested the service of a pest control expert who will trap the creature in a humane manner and then release at a remote point or what ever method he employs.
Title: Re: fox problem
Post by: cleggy on 27 February 2013, 14:16:00
Yes it was a tongue in cheek comment , just as I'm sure blasting them with guns in an urban area is. The use of poison is a big mistake when considering other wildlife, pets and children

They are a problem and vermin, I keep chickens and keep foxes at bay with an electric fence to protect my stock. Another problem is that they are riddled with mange which can be fatal to pet dogs, and expense vet bills. Foxes are the last thing you want in your garden so detering them is paramount, the tip of urinating around your property does work but may not go down too well with your neighbours. Then again  ::) ::) ;D

If they really are a problem then as already suggested a pest control expert would be the path to take :y
Title: Re: fox problem
Post by: ted_one on 27 February 2013, 14:39:54
Commonsense has got to be paramount because there are people in this world who would believe that these suggestions are legitimate advice and would go on and try them.You only got to go to places like Cyprus where the locals put poisoned meat out because of the large amount of feral cats and dogs and guess what? dead domestic animals. My sister in law lives in Grenada and her dog kept chasing the neighbours chickens and it got the meat treatment and died in absolute agony,the only good things that happened from that incident was that they did'nt get another dog and the neighbour got a a right good 'beasting' from my brother in law......cost him a few $ with the local cops to make things go away,as is the way there ::)
Title: Re: fox problem
Post by: ozzycat on 27 February 2013, 16:21:05
 right to stop any more aeguments
1 its illeagle to poison
2 if you trap you cannot rehome vermin and a fox is vermin so has to be killed same as a squiral
3 i can leagaly shoot it  i have a licence and a gun but the wildlife policeman has asked me not to because of the people that live around me
4 i can trap it then take it to somwhere else and shoot oi
the rspca do not want to know but warned ne about poiconing it as its cruel
5 i can use repelant or pee to make life ucomfotable so it moves out
6 get a dog
7 keep blocking the holes up at both ends of the earth or den so it gets fedup and moves out
8 pest controle will not do anything unless its in my house
9 i can just leave it alone so it contiues to stink my house out and just keep picking up the mess it leaves in my garden -ie napies fox shit dead carcases it brings every hight
10 if it has cubs i cant do anything to it or thrm because its agenst the law to disturb them when they have cubs
so you fan see my problem a fox is vermin they carry disease which household pets can pickup
so this ones days are numberd if it dosent move out by next week i will shoot it
1 shot is all it will take job done no poison no drowning just 1 babg and lights out then ive got the mess under my shed and garden to clean up
i dont wish to ofend anybody and ive asked all the atuoroties about this and they agree wiyh my solution
which is repelant the try a borowed trap and dispose last resort shoot it :y :y :y

If it hasn't got cubs at the moment, you'd best get on with it, as it soon will have!  ;)

How about just generally making life uncomfortable for it? Run the garden hose under the shed for 10 minutes or so just to make it's den wet, muddy and generally unpleasant? Jump up and down in the shed and generally make a din?  Basically be the neighbour from hell!! It may slope off to pastures new...  :-\

no steve they say unless its in distress or injurd they wont get involved  if i poison it or shoot it and dont kill it and it escapes they will charge me with causing an animal sufering so i told them to go take a long walk and goand f.o. and to prove it  the next words from them that if a fox was found dead wihin 10 mile radius from where i live and has been shot i would get a visit from the bobbys
the bobbys said they cant prove its you and they would not do anything anyway  plus they are veimin so they can be shot on site   he said there is too many of these self ritios idiots in the rspca whos goal in life is to get anybody who keeps animals done for somthing he said if you have to shoot it so be it but he would prefer that i trap it and take it away and shoot it in a field somwhere out of the village so thats fairenough

This is going to sound really daft but here goes....

Get in touch with your local zoo or wildlife park and get some lion or tiger poo.  Pee would be good as well but, given how its passed by the original owner, might be a challenge, then place it in various important places around your property as regularly as you can.  Apparantly its not too pongy to us but as the lions/tigers are much further up the feral scale than the foxes, m'sieu fox will decamp forthwith and find somewhere less atinted PDQ.

Or so i have heard..... :)

This is going to sound really daft but here goes....

Get in touch with your local zoo or wildlife park and get some lion or tiger poo.  Pee would be good as well but, given how its passed by the original owner, might be a challenge, then place it in various important places around your property as regularly as you can.  Apparantly its not too pongy to us but as the lions/tigers are much further up the feral scale than the foxes, m'sieu fox will decamp forthwith and find somewhere less atinted PDQ.

Or so i have heard..... :)

Lion Pee soaked straw certainly works with cats, but ONLY for a limited time .. ie until it rains ... or has stood in the sun (?) for a few days :( I guess that's why animals continually "mark" their territories, the effect is not that long lasting :(

Yes lion pee soaked straw does work as does lion,tiger,leopard poo,
 As mentioned earlier peeing around the coup for a week or two does work sometimes,but. A fox will return to a source of food,once any animal finds easy food it will keep returning until
A..food has gone.
B..its driven awayby another,stronger
C..Death.

Foxes have problem of carrying toxocara, a disease organism that domestic dogs and cats also have. They might also carry fleas and internal parasites such as worms. However, there is little evidence that these can be passed on to humans and pets very fast. Reason while that fox should be removes from living places as quickly as possible.
