Not a bad likeness to our garden a few weeks ago lol. I had all four of the family brazenly running around it one night knowing I was watching!
It's definitely getting better. My deterrents seem to be sending them the message they're not welcome. I managed to set up the jet spray one this weekend. I was convinced it wasn't working, attached it to the hose, walked in front of it and got completely drenched. I had to get drenched again to turn it off! Fortunately it was a very hot day so getting a cold shower was quite nice.
I set it up that night and watched daddy fox jump from the shed roof in another garden on to our fence, jump down and get the fright of his life. I then saw another one coming back from the person who feeds them with a mouthful of roast chicken, and that one got a shock too
Unfortunately I got drenched again at 5.30 am the next morning when taking it back down so the boys didn't get caught by it. It was a bit chilly at that time of day so I didn't put it out the following night! I need to work on that!
Worth investing in the deterrents though as I can use them again next year as it's an annual issue. I'm using them on random nights now to confuse them and make them feel less safe. The jet spray is pretty powerful, it nearly knocked me off my feet so I can't imagine the foxes wanting to mess with that too often!
