If you know someone who works for the council in pest control they may be able to lend you a suitable live catch trap.

This would be just a bit bigger than we would use to catch feral cats.

However ensuring there is no food available for them would be a step in the right direction.

i think you can forget the no food available part,thats all you see now is people feeding the foxes . i would suggest that you see someone who goes out for foxes with there dogs, get them to run there dogs in and out the dens the smell from the dogs will move them on j m o

Just been on the news about water voles disappearing,blame everything bar what at least one of the problems is,often watched foxes along the small streams in the area,they love voles.But of course foxes aren't the problem.

They are a bit like the RSPB,can't see the wood for the trees.

Don't know if ferret s**t works but I would give it a try,spread some round the fox holes.

Worth a go.

i and it will get rid of a lot of other birds and animals if not placed right, you dont just throw that about willy nilly you have got to know what you are doing with( poison) baits.

 

then again you will get the f..k them brigade

100% correct, no need for poisoning, take yer own wee dog over George and let him scent mark the garden and the fox will stay away. I done it with Max, after 2 visits the fox moved den across the road, cubs all shifted too. They might wander through scavenging but they won't take up residence again.

I certainly would not want to move them on. I think they are dirty devils and will kill anything they can. Most foxes have mange and can pass it on to dogs. If it were me I would put a shot into them and have done with it.

Geordie if it's Cambuslang he's moving into mate, you should get away with using one of these.
