My house is near a park, and lots of people walk their dogs past on way to said park. Recently a lot of doggy do do started to appear on my front lawn. I kept an eye out and caught someone letting their dog do it, perp ran off, and dog poo was still appearing over next few weeks. So I put up a fence, 3 feet high, all around my front, completely enclosing it. You know what? Dog poo was still appearing in front lawn. Huge amount of anger, fence was hard to put up.
After examining the poo (on a shovel) and comparing to pictures available on Google, I believe it might actually be a fox. After all if someone is opening the gate to let their dog in, or lifting it over the fence, then I am dealing with a psycho, and I really don't want to go there.
Anyone know how to stop a fox crapping on their lawn? I have put down three different kinds of stuff from the DIY shop that is supposed to smell bad and prevent this kind of thing but none of it works.
Note, wife will not let me buy a gun. I think she thinks I might shoot her. |

I don't know the neighbours, so as a solution I like it a lot. Would a fox eat Rat Poison?
{Edit} I tried pepper, there was a turd on top of it. |

get a dog that is bigger than the fox...go to a sporting goods store and get some skunk lure. and put a few dabs around you lawn.. foxes useally will steer clear of a skunk. |

Moth balls keep cats out of flower beds... don't know if the smell would deter a fox or not. |

@ Packman - I hate dogs. Hate. Plus, you don't get too many Skunk lures in West Sussex...
@ bearkat419 - I like that one, but I think that they might get caught in the lawnmower. |

There's an ultrasonic thing you can get from B&Q. It's a fox repeller. It's supposed to work really well. Some friends of mine bought one to protect their garden as they've got little kids and didn't want to be on constant fox poop patrol either.
I think it was about £30. But they said it was well worth the money. |

Get a fake plastic owl.....oops wrong thread...sorry Harry Bawls. Perhaps Harry could send his starlings to West Sussex and they could dive bomb the fox.
I'm in trouble I can understand what Packman always says. Orderly! Oh, Orderly?! |

Yeah I think it works on cats too - so if you have moggies it might not be a good idea...
...our cats don't like citrus and there is a spray you can buy to stop them scratching things - you just spray it on and they seem to leave it alone. Doubt this would work on a lawn though - maybe go down the garden centre and look for citrus smelling plants? |

@ Goldry ~ I mow over them, and it doesn't seem to be a problem, as long as the mower isn't set to the lowest level (I like to keep the grass fairly long to avoid the need to water as often).
Now watch me send one through my kitchen window the next time I mow the lawn. |

Regarding the mothball suggestions: It didn't work on skunks AND I found out that they are very very toxic, so be careful if you have kids or dogs.
I've had success with pepper and neighbor dogs, just not regular pepper. I used a whole container of cayenne sprinkled on the ground.
Planting mint is supposed to work to keep lots of animals at bay, but I haven't tried it myself. |

I bet its just the same guy lifting his dog over your fence. Fox scat may have berries and fur from small rodents. They love to crap as a marker. They leave their little labors on top of a boulder, along a trail but not on a lawn near a park with lots of people walking by. Have you seen any foxes? |

Buy a llama or an alpaca.
Seriously, farmer friend of mine has not lost a single lamb to fox or dog predation since he put a llama in with his sheep and the llama chases them off.
Not really practical for a small suburban garden though |

Dealing with the furry little bastards once they're in is very difficult. We had 3 of the bloody things clear out our hen-house and also take a dozen ducks and half a dozen geese a couple of years ago. We tried all sorts of remedies but found the only way to stop them was to deny them access.
The best way to sort this out is to sort your fence and gate out and make sure there's no way in for them. |

Send 'em here. My family loves foxes. We get tons of wildlife coming through the woods behind our house, and at least the foxes don't eat our garden like the groundhogs do. |
