Scoot Fox Repellant 2 x 50gm

Product Information

The ingredients are completely safe for plants, so you can apply it anywhere in the garden including lawns, flower beds, vegetables, trees, and much more. It is also pet-friendly, so no need to worry if you have any cats or dogs that may inspect the smell. Radio 4 was found to be successful because it’s a conversational station, giving the impression that humans are in the area and causing foxes to keep away. Music stations were tested but didn’t have a deterrent effect. A typical day in the life of a fox is dominated by scent-marking its territory (pooing and urinating) and generally doing the rounds ensuring rival foxes are not trying to take over. There are multiple settings available, including mode 1 that sends out ultrasonic waves to scare off animals, mode 2 that uses just the LED light, and mode 3 that combine both. Mode 3 is the best setting for foxes, as it produces a loud noise and bright light, both of which can scare off foxes. It lets other foxes know your garden is occupied and unavailable. The more prominent the scent-mark, the more likely other foxes will smell the message. That’s the reason foxes often poo on top or in the middle of things, like the centre of the lawn, on paving slabs or garden furniture, as well as around the perimeter.

There are Ultrasonic Deterrents that are aimed at keeping cats out of gardens. These tend to operate at a frequency of 20 – 25kHz which has been deemed to be the optimal pitch for activating a cats fight or flight response, getting them to run away basically. However, the FoxWatch emits sounds at the much higher frequency of 40 – 45 kHz which is irritating to foxes, but doesn’t cause any adverse reaction to cats even though it’s in their hearing range. The FoxWatch is popular with cat owners and you’ll probably find that once the fox starts reducing its visits to your garden, your cat will be much more relaxed about going outside. One traffic jam wouldn’t make us stop using our preferred route to work. But repeated traffic jams, every single time, would eventually cause us to consider taking alternative roads to get there. FoxWatch is a small device which sits in your yard and emits high-pitched noises whenever a fox walks past its infrared motion sensor. These ultrasonic sounds are not audible by humans but foxes find them irritating. FoxWatch helps foxes associate their garden with these annoying sounds over time. This reduces the frequency of their visits and eventually leads to them leaving the area and moving on. With all-weather enclosed electronics, this fox repellent can be left out in any weather, ensuring year-round protection against foxes. ProsIt’s recommended that you use more than one type of fox deterrent because this means the fox will always have two or more of its senses instinctively warning it about the area – and foxes place great trust in their instincts telling them whether to proceed or retreat. Please note that during particularly busy periods, it may take a little longer to receive your delivery and our carrier may attempt to deliver to you on a Saturday. A domestic cat knows their owner will feed it and it knows it can always run inside to the safety of the house if things get awkward. In fact, a high percentage of FoxWatch owners also have cats and use the unit highly successfully to deter foxes without upsetting their cats. Bear in mind that not even a product marketed as the best fox repellent will be 100% effective on its own. You can expect certain products to take some time before you start seeing results and you may need to interchange or reposition the repellent every few days. Whether you choose a jet sprayer, a scent repellent or an ultrasonic model, or maybe a combination solution, you will be on your way to a fox free home.

Armed with actual knowledge of how foxes think and behave, I was able to formulate a successful strategy which led to me converting my garden from being completely overrun into a foxy Fort Knox. This deterrent combines both light and ultrasonic sounds to keep foxes out of your garden. While a light or noise may scare unwanted pests away, combining both significantly increases the effectiveness of the deterrent, making this one of the best options for scaring away foxes.

Scoot Fox Repellent

Long-researched animal experts have been puzzled by the reason dogs roll in fox urine (and other animals’ faeces too). They believe it may have once served a purpose during canid evolutionary history. No matter the reason, dogs love to do this and can make their hair smell bad.

The motion sensor is so effective you may want to avoid placing it in front of plants as they may accidentally trigger it, so make sure it is positioned accordingly. It does need a constant supply to water, so an outdoor hose pipe is necessary to use the deterrent, although be careful to disconnect when there is a chance of it freezing. The way that foxes do this is by using their poo and urine to ‘scent-mark’ prominent parts of their territory. They normally do this on a daily basis, which is why it can become such an irritating issue.

The Scoot Fox Repellent is pet-friendly and won’t have the same deterring effects on your cats and dogs. It’s additionally safe to use on edible plants and there are no ill effects to children, although it is vital that the undiluted powder is kept away from children to avoid inhaling or ingesting.
