    Hello.

    We've had a fox living at the bottom of the garden for years but it has recently decided that the centre of the lawn makes a great toilet.

    Anyone know how to deter it please?

    Hi Paul, the usual things touted as fox deterents - human hair, urine, lion dung etc don't work.

    The fox has got into the habit of using that area of your garden. Could you put a physical obstacle there for a while to break the habit.

    But it will need to be a proper obstacle. Foxes can climb.

    Yes,but I don't see them getting on to the top of the obstacle to do their droppings in the middle of the lawn.:D
    I didn't mean an obstacle to keep them out of the garden - I just meant an obstacle to keep them off that bit of the grass :idea:
