The advice from a Professor who studies foxes is that the population of urban foxes is growing because there are rich pickings in cities like London and if we did the following we may be more successful at controlling this growth:

How to outfox the fox

▶ Never feed foxes; refrain from leaving out bird food and cat food.
▶ Use a secure wheelie bin. Don't leave rubbish bags outside.

▶ Foxolutions recommends Scoot, a fox repellent that fools a fox into not recognising its own scent markings so it believes another fox is claiming the territory.

▶ Try an infra-red device that links to an outdoor tap and fires water at intruding foxes (available from jbryant.co.uk).

▶ Put garden sheds on a concrete base so foxes cannot live underneath. If a fox nests underneath decking, remove one plank so the vixen no longer feels secure.

We've tried the infra-red device and it doesn't work!  Why do we leave out plastic bin bags in London - what's so difficult about using actual dustbins?
