Scoot Fox Repellant 2 x 50gm

Product Information

Now you know a bit more about foxes and you’ve got a strategy to deter them, it’s time to take action and try some fox deterrent products in your garden. So, we want to protect our gardens from foxes, but how can we ensure that our cats aren’t inconvenienced at the same time? If you’re tempted to buy one of these, be sure to set it up with a clear field of view that is unobstructed, and go for a model that has infrared sensors over just motion sensors. 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. Each deterrent in this list is the best of its type. No two are exactly the same and they all work in slightly different ways from one another, targeting different senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch etc…) and different types of problems. Hopefully there’s something here that you feel you can make use of.

These strips are made out of weather and UV resistant plastic that is flexible enough for plants to grow through it, while still being a great fox deterrent. The second area where Volador try to beat their competition, is with the sensor range. This model has a much wider arc of 110 degrees, and in addition to that it has a longer maximum range of 9 metres/ 30 feet. Anything of a nature that for hygiene or associated health and safety - this includes the Outdoor Spas, Mattresses and Divan Sets I have a fairly small garden and a family of six foxes have just taken residence. I want to get a deterrent but I have two cats and many of the deterrents seem to affect cats as well. Can you please advise which is the best option in these circumstances?” 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.

It’s all about territory

The FoxWatch is a very simple little device that lets out high-pitched blasts of ultrasonic noise each time a fox crosses the motion sensor. In all, I wasted about two years and a small fortune trying to find the ‘magic bullet’ (excuse the pun) that would rid foxes from my garden for good. Needless to say I didn’t find it. However, the sensors don’t appear to be infrared and only get triggered by motion, so you might get some false alarms from trees and such blowing in the wind.

Citronella is a popular ingredient in scent-based animal repellents due to its strong, off-putting smell, but without causing any harm to wildlife or plants. Again, these spikes are not designed to cause harm, but they are firm enough to create an uncomfortable sensation in a fox’s paws. Wherever you decide to set it up, the sensor will then detect any animals coming within an 80 degree arc in front of it, with a maximum range of around 23ft, although using it this way will drain the batteries more so than on a less sensitive setting.Anyway, we applied a lot of this stuff all over my garden and sure enough, the next night or two there were no signs of the fox. However, on day three a big fresh ‘hello pie’ was left on the grass. In fact, the purpose of a good quality fox deterrent is to change the fox’s attitude to your garden from somewhere that it has free reign to do as it pleases to an environment full of uncertainty, doubt and potential danger. The FoxWatch is durable, safe and humane for all animals and is something you can set and forget without ongoing attention or maintenance. As foxes are especially persistent, the FoxWatch acts as a good automatic deterrent that can be left on all the time (with mains adapter or battery), deterring foxes regardless of the time of day or if you’re in or out. With the different types of products out there all vying for your money and promising to get rid of your fox problem, it’s tempting to buy them all and carry out an all-out assault on that craft critter. So, it’s very important that you spray Scoot multiple times – ideally every 2-3 days for a couple of weeks. This will maintain the concentration levels of the scent and give the fox the impression that the new intruder is a serious and permanent threat.

Scottish Highlands & Islands postcodes: AB, FK, HS, IV, KA, KW, PA, PH, ZE, LL58-LL78, IM, TR, PO30-41 Scoot is widely acclaimed as the ultimate solution for fox deterrent and control in gardens. This fox repellent is very effective because it contains 88% aluminium ammonium sulphate and is non-toxic.So, from this test I would say this stuff works, but only if you keep at it every evening or so, and this could get expensive as it isn’t the cheapest stuff on the planet. The biggest mistake people make with Scoot (and fox repellents in general) is to use it once and think that’s all they need to do. However, as we discussed above, foxes are persistent with their scent-marking and don’t simply disappear at the first sign of trouble. With these products, the results are usually not instantaneous, so be prepared to wait a week or even two before it changes the foxes behaviour, and if it’s still not working, try playing within the frequency range. In fact, a high percentage of FoxWatch owners also have cats and use the unit highly successfully to deter foxes without upsetting their cats.

One of the best selling products of its kind, this ultrasound pest repellant from Pestbye is probably one of the best chances you have of deterring foxes from making your garden their playground. A citronella-based spray to discourage foxes from fouling and digging in specific areas of the garden.If you have foxes regularly coming into your garden and your cat displays some of the characteristics above, then you can be pretty sure that they’re feeling some degree of fox-related stress.
