Following your article re foxes, may I thank all who have rang me offering advice on this problem.

I have, as suggested, tried using Jeyes Fluid, all to no avail. Also I have purchased an animal repellent, but this also hasn't worked. The foxes use it as a plaything.

In answer to the letter saying that the foxes are quite timid, I haven't experienced this. In my case the animals will run towards me, just as a pet might do, and they are definitely not scared of my neighbour's dog.

I am trying to alleviate my problem by resetting all my plants, hoping their appetites might be curtailed.
