A brief argument for the whole fox control in Britain thing

First off, I AM NOT BACKING TRADITIONAL FOX HUNTING. I’m not a fan of the really rather barbaric chase of a wounded and tired animal. It’s cruel and disrespectful to the fox.  However, the fox is a vermin species. It targets pets, such as rabbits, wild creatures, some of which are incredibly rare, such as the partridge, and scavenges in urban areas, which disrupts our lives. Yes, we have caused some of this, through the rapid urbanisation of rural areas, but the population of foxes still needs to be under control, for the sake of their prey. So, foxes are a pain, but traditional hunting is too cruel. What happens next? Currently in Britain, what happens to control fox populations is the use of snares (special ones which are only tight enough to trap the target species and age of fox) or night shooting, where people pick them off using high powered rifles. Does this still sound excessive to you? If it does, do you have an alternatives? To be honest, I live in the suburbs but have come from a shooting family so I may be biased. Fox populations do need to be controlled though, and I feel that these are fairer, and less cruel, ways to do so, rather than causing excess pain and distress to the one animal being hunted.

Sources, guys! It’s reliable! These are both ‘shooting’ sites so may be subject to bias

Shopping for a Fox Repellent

There are countless reasons why you might want to get a fox deterrent. An urban fox getting into your garden can be a nuisance and cause a homeowner a variety of irritating things to think about. These include foxes digging up your garden or flowers, fouling, burrowing under houses, terrifying small pets and causing loud screeches, particularly around the mating time period.

Before you even continue and shop for a fox repellent product, it’s worth removing potential bait from your yard that might tempt a fox in the first place. Don't leave sources of food in the garden overnight, put away children’s playthings, ensure that small pets are securely locked up and dispose of garbage bags in a dustbin. Taking these steps are an appropriate place to  before buying a fox repellent.

There are a wide range of varieties of fox repellents available that cater for a range of problems. The first type of deterrent are crystals and sprays. These are really good for stopping foxes from defecating) and {digging in certain parts of your garden. Usually straightforward to use and environmentally friendly, deterrents include Scoot Fox Repellent, Get Off My Garden Fox Deterrent and Get Off Repellent Spray. All of these can be purchased for less than £10 and are very effective fox deterrents. The flip side is you are likely to require more than one application or bottle before the repellent has the desired outcome and they will only deter foxes from particular areas of the backyard, not deter them entirely.

A different type of fox repellent are ones that use motion detectors to keep foxes away from your backyard. These are usually more money but can be especially effective in keeping foxes away. One example is the FoxWatch Fox Repellent which picks up when a fox is close and lets out a scary sound that is scary to the fox. Another deterrent is the Scarecrow Water Sprinkler that sprays a jet of water at the fox when it comes nearby, causing the fox being frightened off.

No matter which type of fox deterrent you purchase, it is worth remembering that these  deterrent products will not take effect immediately. It will take time for the fox to associate your back yard with these unsavoury experiences before they start to stay away. It is a case of staying patient whilst the fox changes its behaviour and decides to find a new area to move to.
