In a 2005 paper to the Extension Farming Systems Journal, Sara Mahoney and Allan Charry reported that the presence of alpacas in a sheep flock on their experimental farms in New South Wales increased the weaning rate of lambs by about 13% relative to those enclosures without them. A great alternative to the Pestbye ultrasound fox repellant is this very similar product from Volador, which tries to take a step up from its rival by improving on a few features. It is worth remembering, particularly in an age of ‘fake news’, that things are not always as they appear. Indeed, if your neighbours feed the local foxes, it might be worth assessing how much they are putting out. The downside to electric fences is that they can be expensive to erect and maintain, although electric netting is cheaper than strained-wire, and some animals can be very vulnerable to them.

Here is a photo of a two-bar roller system, I’ve seen these installed in a garden where the owner wanted to let their house cats out into the garden but didn’t want them to escape; the rollers worked incredibly well and they can be used to keep animals out as well as in. To deter foxes from entering your garden, you should first appreciate that these animals don’t like to take risks, they will avoid areas that pose a threat or scare them.
Remember, despite what we may think, foxes are individuals and will vary in their response to repellents; there are many different options available, so if one doesn’t work, try something else. Nonetheless, I know several people who use electric fences to successfully exclude foxes from their property. Some further weeks later it has become clear that the strips have totally defeated the pigeons from sitting on the wall and the fence. Plastic spikes are commonly used to deter unwanted pests, fox, squirrels, cats, birds and small animals. Foxes are medium-sized carnivores that are reasonably proficient diggers and perfectly capable of scaling a two metre (6 ft.
More recently a system designed to keep cats in their owner’s garden was brought to my attention and I suspect it offer similar promise for keeping foxes out. Foxes give birth during the spring and a vixen will start looking for a natal (cubbing) earth well in advance, so it is important any holes are blocked by the end of January at the latest. Some appreciate the sharpness, saying that it would make it uncomfortable for a burglar to break into their garden. Being able to “adjust” the thickness is important because we found the birds will squeeze onto the tiniest space.Their survival instinct also means that will avoid all dangerous situations wherever possible, this gives us insights into how we can scare them off. If such, “home remedies” don't work for you, the methods at your disposal can be broadly divided into three groups: chemical repellents; acoustic or other motion-activated devices; and electric fences or netting.
