B@stard Foxes!
« on: August 08, 2009, 11:56:11 pm »
Hi Guys,

I have the most annoying problem right now, twice in recent weeks my car has been walked all over by a Fox, I know its a fox because i see it regularly and unlike a cat it leaves really very muddy prints all over the car (cats leave marks but they arent as dirty and the paw prints are smaller).

The issue is that because i keep my car fairly well polished it obviously slips, sticks its claws out and puts fairly deep scratches in to the bonet,

Very odd question for a forum like this but does anyone know any good fox detterents? (probably in spray form or something would be best,

Cheers,

R

I think a .22 rifle should do the trick  :signLOL:
If you have to ask why, you'll never understand.

If Only  :fighting:

My Old Man has a Shot Gun, but i think it might damage the paint a bit more than the fox  :grin:

Also might be a bit harder to Justify here than in the countryside!

Apparently spraying lemon juice in and around the vicinity is a harmless deterrent for a variety of animals, inc. foxes, and cats.

The other one is lion or tiger turd.  You might think I'm joking but both these things work.

P.S. You can buy lion/tiger sh*te from your local zoo/safari park.

You need your car checking out then. A VW fox shouldn't be able to walk all over your car :signLOL:

Seriously though.....an air rifle would sort it. Failing that you could ask the council if they could do something to remove it.

You should get a gundog........ or a pack of gundogs for maximum effect?

I could do the whole fox/vw rabbit pun but I will hold back!

How about a ring of pepper dust around your car parking space (tell the everyone its an exorcism for maximum effect)

Or how about make peace not war and leave a little sirloin steak.......(or dogfood)..... and milk outside well away from your pride and joy.  I did try this with a hedgehog once but soon got bored.

a friend of mine had a problem with foxes in his garden and found the best way to get rid of em was to piss all round the garden, you might not want to leak on your pride and joy tho just a thought  :stupid:

Piss is the best for keeping Foxes at bay although rather than piss all over your drive you could try putting human hair (you might have to become a skin head) in a sock and tie them up around the garden. The scent keeps them well away. Failing that you'd shoot the bas**rd or seach the net. Just had a quick look and there seems to be plenty of stuff about.

....I want one of those to shoot cats! Trouble is that you can get into a lot of trouble shooting at anything, no matter what.
