I'm guessing he's one of those "making a point" people who'll whip out a smartphone at the last minute, or doesn't want Bill Gates reading his brainwaves through 5G.

Peil Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 17 hours ago, Salt n Vinegar said: Anyone know how to keep foxes out of a garden? No, I'm not buying a shotgun. No, I'm not keeping a pack of hunting dogs, dressing up like a hunter from a mid-20th century table placemat and riding a horse. No, I'm not setting snares or other traps. I'm pretty sure it's not a dog, as our garden is fenced in. I'm fed up walking across the lawn and finding it, or even worse, smelling it when I cut the grass. Any (serious ) suggestions?

When these types of article appear, I'm always left wondering what mad b*****d came up with the idea or solution in the first place. Birds nesting on my roof? I wonder if smearing a shovelful of lions shite on it would deter the fvckers? Don't know if it's just me, but I'd imagine the materials required to simply block any potential nesting holes or cover them with mesh would be a lot easier and far less life-threatening to acquire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a mixture of lion dung which I bought from a garden centre and some other stuff which mimics the scent of male fox pish called Scoot. I haven't seen any foxes hanging about since. The neighbour has his hose rigged up to a tap and there's a motion sensor that causes a squirt of water to come out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway no one has suggested the obvious solution to @Salt n Vinegar’s dilemma. Sell the house, buy a flat. Lateral thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 (edited) One for the bird people: Whilst in the middle of a large playing field where there can't be a nest within >100m, the swallows fly up to my dog, do circles around him, fly away and then come back for a fly-by. At no point do they dive bomb us, but they purposely come close. My question is: is this them playing and repeatedly teasing my lurcher for a chase, or are they feeling threatened for no apparent reason and just trying to divert attention. ETA: fwiw, the swallows are chasing each other now. Edited June 10 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
