you still urinate on the perimeter of the property to scare the foxes?

Yes, we have foxbats!

The most fun cat deterrent is a big water soaker rifle. Splash them a couple of times, they'll never come back.

Our variant is a big scary dog that only likes our cats.

We fixed the problem by moving to the top floor of a block of flats :-)

Good point!
I'm totally assuming its foxes. Seems to happen most nights and hopefully it isn't someone just letting their dog crap on my front lawn that often.

But I have seen them in my garden a fair bit. Judging from the tracks they make in the snow over the winter, my garden seems to be a regular route to walk across every night.

I'm not saying it isn't fox poop, I just wondered if you could tell from looking at it

The pellets are soaked in real essence of lion dung, dried and sterilised.

How do you know it's fox poop? Does it look different to dog poop?

I've heard that works with foxes too.
Must give it a try. My front garden is covered in fox tulip.

yep works, neighbours plagued by foxes, I just wee in a bucket and spread round the perimeter.

never see a fox in my garden.

Seems a little extreme but had young kittens and an aggressive fox.

You can buy bags of Lion/Leopard/Rhino poo at your nearest Zoo. Spread this around the garden and it apparently frightens them off as they think there is some huge predator at loose.
Failing that, have you considered napalm?

HTH

Put some food out for them.That'll probably stop them tulipting in your garden as well as they'll consider it part of their territory.

They did that on the neighbours garden, he tried all sorts (jeyes fluid etc.) which didn't work...what did work was him spreading his own pee all over
