Urban foxes

There are a number of steps you can take to help prevent fox activity in your area. They include:

remove potential food sources
keep rubbish in bins - closed wheelie bins are fox proof
don't leave bagged rubbish outside
remove piles of garden clippings
fill gaps under garden sheds (a fox can squeeze under a 10cm or 4 inch gap and like to shelter under sheds)
only leave bird food in bird food dispensers
protect small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs in sturdy hutches (chicken wire isn't strong enough to keep foxes out, use strong welded mesh instead)
tidy up an overgrown garden
repair any damaged air bricks (don't block them up - houses need ventilation)

For further information you can contact The Fox Project who will be able to provide advice on fox deterrent.
