If you’ve ever had a run-in with a fox you know how pesky they can be. But what exactly keeps them away? Here are a few things that seem to do the trick:
– Foxes are naturally afraid of humans. They will usually steer clear of areas where there is a lot of human activity.
– If you have a dog that’s another good way to deter foxes. They are intimidated by dogs and will usually stay away from areas where they are present.
– Foxes are also repelled by certain smells. You can try placing ammonia-soaked rags around your property or spraying your plants with a mixture of water and vinegar.
– Finally foxes don’t like loud noises. So if you see one on your property make a lot of noise to scare it off.
