Scoot Fox Repellant 2 x 50gm

Product Information

A second important point is, if got a nervous or timid cat, it’s the presence of the fox itself that will be causing your cat the most discomfort rather than any deterrent you use to keep the fox away. Animals that are active at night are more aware of the reflective eyes and movements of other predators. Predator Eye Pro units mimic the eyes of other animals, giving foxes a feeling that they’re being watched.

Basically, you want to use anything that produces an unpleasant smell to the fox. Foxes have incredible sense of smell, so they find certain aromas highly off putting, even leaving the territory to avoid it.

A fox works the same way. Your garden is part of its route as it does the rounds of its territory and this won’t change unless you give it a reason to think otherwise. However, also just like us, the fox is unlikely to instantly change its habits after a solitary bad experience. Instead, it takes multiple negative encounters for the fox to realise your garden is not the relaxing environment it once was. Firstly, if a fox is regularly pooing in your garden, then it’s important to remove the poo safely and conveniently. Fox faeces can contain germs so this is extra important if you have young children or dogs – especially as dogs have a tendency to eat or roll in the stuff. The infrared sensor is also advanced, with a left and right angle coverage of 110° and an up and down coverage of 55°. Simply put, it will detect any fox that enters your garden, along with various other pests like rodents and stray cats. Again, these spikes are not designed to cause harm, but they are firm enough to create an uncomfortable sensation in a fox’s paws. Place the FoxWatch in a flowerbed, lawn or anywhere you think is most suitable in your garden and switch the unit on. It’s now ready for action.And what was the single most important piece of information that transformed my success with stopping my fox problems? It was surprisingly simple. This deterrent combines both light and ultrasonic sounds to keep foxes out of your garden. While a light or noise may scare unwanted pests away, combining both significantly increases the effectiveness of the deterrent, making this one of the best options for scaring away foxes. In my case, I had just laid some new turf in my parent’s garden for them. The foxes for some reason, were flipping the turf. I’ve seen them digging in the turf before, especially in customer’s gardens but I’d never really seen them flipping newly laid turf. Thankfully, the Karlsten Anti Fouling Garden Protection Fox Repellent Spray seemed to put an end to that nuisance, keeping my lawn intact. Pros The STV International STV415 Fox Repeller not only acts as a fox scarer but also deters other nuisance animals such as squirrels, rabbits, deer, cats and herons. This product is painless to install because all you need is a standard hose connection and 2 x AA batteries. You also get straightforward instructions to guide you through the set up which is handy, however, it is so simple that you probably won’t need them.

You’ll be nipping the issue in the bud, putting the fox off before it gets the chance to foul, dig or cause any other problems that you’ve been experiencing. The product is supplied in two 50g sachets to be diluted and then sprayed over the desired area. One 50g sachet should be dissolved in a minimum of 2.5 litres or a maximum of 9 litres of water. It’s very effective and can cover up to 32 square metres. You may go with the higher concentration for particular hotspots where foxes are usually active. For blanket coverage across your entire garden, it’s better to spray using the maximum dilution. You will need a garden sprayer to dispense the fox repellent but using a watering can is also suitable, however, we find it can be a little wasteful compared to using a garden sprayer. This particular model is fitted with infrared (IR) sensors that not only detect motion from the animals, but also their body heat signature, and this triggers the machine to activate the ultrasound frequency and deter the fox. On the surface it is pretty much the same and works in the same way. The two dials on the front control the sensor sensitivity and the frequency of the sound.The way that foxes do this is by using their poo and urine to ‘scent-mark’ prominent parts of their territory. They normally do this on a daily basis, which is why it can become such an irritating issue.
