Used teabags – Dip your old teabags into eucalyptus, peppermint oil or anything strong smelling that is natural. The socked teabag should then be “planted” into the ground where the foxes are frequently visiting.

Keep the garden Tidy – Don’t put your rubbish out in Plastic bags which foxes can acquire. Put your food in a wheelie bin with the lid secured.

Cutting the Grass – Cut or clear areas of long grass.

Block off areas – If foxes cant enter your garden, they cant dig it up or leave their excrement.  Try to find the foxes entry points, and block them off.

Ensure you block off areas under sheds or Decking. As these become ideal areas for foxes to create a den.

Bring food bowls inside – Bring leftover car or dogfood inside. This is one of the biggest attractions to foxes, as its an easy food source.

Smell – You can try and put Garlic, white vinegar or chilli powder in your problem areas. This will of course wash away with rain, but these scents are certainly disliked by foxes.
