To the lady who is having problems with foxes, I have read that the following is used by professional gardeners to deter foxes.

Use two or three empty one litre clear plastic lemonade bottles, remove labels and half fill with tap water, screw the caps on and lay the bottles on their sides in the garden where the fox is known to visit.

I am told that foxes are territorial and that the reflection of another fox in the bottle is the reason they move on.

If the above doesn't work you will still feel a lot happier if you have mixed the lemonade with your favourite tipple.
