Default Foxes came into my house!

Went out in the morning at about 8, left the back door open for the dogs to roam, the Mrs was in bed. The dogs went to the bedroom and she shut the door

The neighbour said 2 foxes had been in here for about 20mins. Little sods...

Anyway, as weve got 3 puppies with mum & dad (chihuahua's) they left a smell everywhere. So the Mrs being 8 and half months pregnant had her bleaching session for the 12th time this week...

What should I do? Last nite there was one peering thru the patio doors while we were having a curry! With the baby due in 2 weeks and 3 little pups in the house I daren't leave the back door open again. They are getting lairy too, waiting til the dogs get within feet before they jump the fence.

Oh and im waiting for the "get a proper dog" comments

Put traps down mate or wait for them with a shotgun. You cant chance it with pups in the house and especially a babi on the way.

One way that has worked in the past is for you to go into your garden and urinate around the perimeter of your garden,or wherever it is that the fox is coming into the garden.Just like an animal wolf etc in the wild will urinate to stop other animals entering it's territory,it should smell your urine and will know your a bigger alpha male than it is...Or have known if you sprinkle a strong smelling pepper in the garden,i have done this around our bins to stop cats etc from getting in our garbage bags.

DYK, that doesnt work. I always pee in my garden and the foxes still come in and eat. The other night I had 3 of the cheeky sods looking at me through my patio door.

One way of getting rid is using a Japanese Akita :-) My dog now live's with my mum ( since the birth of my son), and he patrols the garden. I never see foxes in there, and if one stupidly enter's my dog's kingdom, more the fool him. :-)

Problem explains why the foxes in my garden are become more braver !

I thought you said your missus checks up on you, I hope for your sake you actually have a Moose in residence, as otherwise you are dead man !

I got an air rifle but im a bit reluctant to use it TBH!

I hit one with an empty rucksack from the upstairs window and he just jumped a bit

Yes they are protected but if they have been in your property and got themselves shot it's tuff luck. You can't go and hunt them in the garden legally though.
