midge28 6 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 hia all. i live in a built up area and for the last 6 weeks or so we have had a fox coming into our front garden late hours of the night and it just sits there howling for hours if we do not go out and scare it away. it,s not just us it is keeping awake all hours of the night as most of my neibours have said about it too. i have heard them before but never like this one , it has been coming for a good six weeks or so now and now will not go away unless we actually go out to scare it away , what i want to know is there any way i can scare it off for good or is there some way to deter it coming so much and why is it sitting there for hours on end howling it,s head off . can someone please help . i need a good nights sleep .

fish 148 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 sounds like it needs a bit of lead. get some one in with a trap who knows what they are doing. Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 , what i want to know is there any way i can scare it off for good as already stated, a 410 cartridge stops them coming back could possibly be that he's calling for a mate or warning others of his territory Quote Link to post

stubby 175 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 if you have a large motor, transport it out to a permission and dispatch it, if not, Ive a 410 hushpower, very discrete where neighbours are concerned Quote Link to post
