Different kinds of fox repellent
Foxes are the type of pest that can be actually
dangerous to small pets. If you live in an area
where foxes live and you have small pets you
should know the ways to keep these small but
dangerous animals away from your house. The job
may not be easy because foxes are some of the
most versatile wildlife and will be able to get
past some of the things that humans come up with
to keep them out of the area. They can sometimes
go through fences if they are not tall enough or
if they dig under it. The fact is that if a fox
sees an easy meal it will try a lot of things to
get to that meal. In order to keep such
resourceful animals away from your house and
your pets you will need to know a few things
that work against them.
Ultrasonic Repellents
Here is a solution that has a good side and a
really bad side. The ultrasonic repelling system
works up to a certain point. The system produces
a sound that foxes do not like, and with some
luck that will be the end of your fox problem.
The bad news is that if you have a dog or any
dogs close by, the ultrasonic device will affect
them as well, so it is not recommended for
people with dogs. They are also not one hundred
percent effective, because if a fox sees a meal
close by, it may put up with the annoyance of a
sonic device in order to get to the meal. The
effectiveness of the device depends on the
persistence of the fox. The sonic device works a
lot better when it is a part of a two-step
solution. The first step in the equation has to
be the right fence.
A Fence
Though a fence can be breached by a fox if not
properly equipped to handle one, you can do a
few things to make your fence as good as they
get to keep the foxes out. First you have to
make sure that the fox cannot dig under the
fence and that is accomplished in two ways.
First you can make a cement base on your fence.
That will usually discourage a fox from trying
to dig. The second thing you can do is to
purchase and underground fence. The fences work
in that they will stop a fox that is already
digging from getting to the other side. The
fence should be tall enough and they work better
with a top that is inclined outwards. Barb wire
will also do the trick. A well placed fence will
usually discourage a fox and they will not even
try to come back in the future.
Spray Repellents
There isn’t any known spray repellent
specifically tailored as a fox repellent.
However there are many different scents of
animals that may be sprayed around an area to
deter foxes. Using coyote or bear scent has been
reported to keep them away. The trouble is that
it often attracts the coyote or bear.
A Big Dog
Foxes can be dangerous to small dogs, but they
will stay away from the bigger breeds. If you
raise poultry this may be the most effective way
of keeping the foxes at bay. You do have to make
sure that your dog is trained to keep wildlife
away, while at the same time to never harm any
livestock that you may be keeping. The great
thing about the dog solution is that a good dog
will not only keep foxes out, but they will also
work with other wildlife that may be around your
farm. If none of these solutions have proven to
work you can always have a wildlife manager come
to your property and try to get rid of the fox
for you. That is probably the safest and most
secure way to get rid of foxes because experts
have techniques that are fast and humane.
