Scoot Fox Repellant 2 x 50gm

Product Information

Although available in a range of sizes, the 5 litre chamber is perhaps the most practical, striking the right balance between being light enough to lift and containing enough liquid to make it worthwhile. Place the FoxWatch in a flowerbed, lawn or anywhere you think is most suitable in your garden and switch the unit on. It’s now ready for action.

The common fox repellents include ultrasonic, water jets and repelling scents. Below we go over the different types and discover the pros and cons of each. Ultrasonic It’s recommended that you use more than one type of fox deterrent because this means the fox will always have two or more of its senses instinctively warning it about the area – and foxes place great trust in their instincts telling them whether to proceed or retreat.

Scoot - Fox Repellent

Fox repellant sprays– since foxes mark their territory by scenting and fouling, you can use non-toxic fox repellent sprays to deter foxes by marking your garden as territory already taken. A range of fox repellent brands is available, such as ‘Scoot’ and ‘Get out of my garden’, both of which are recommended by The Fox Project. However, Scoot doesn’t contain citronella and doesn’t seek to repel foxes by creating a smell so bad that the fox (or your cat) doesn’t want to go near it. It’s actually cleverer than that and again targets the fox’s sense of territory. Anything of a nature that for hygiene or associated health and safety - this includes the Outdoor Spas, Mattresses and Divan Sets When detected, the device sends out a short ultrasonic sound that only the fox can hear, scaring it off from the territory. Place these around entranceways to keep the fox from entering in the first place. Working out where a fox comes into your garden is one of the biggest tactical advantages you can have in the battle to keep foxes away on a long-term basis. This is because the entry point is where the fox decides whether or not it’s safe to enter your garden.

The main downside for some people is that Scoot is higher maintenance than the FoxWatch, requiring you to be out in your garden every couple of days for around two weeks spraying the solution. While this seems a bit more hands on, it ensures the scent remains strong and consistent enough to be of concern to the fox. Next you’ll need to focus on ways of trying to stop foxes coming into your garden in the first place. An effective way of doing this is to use a couple of different fox deterrents that humanely but effectively disrupt the fox’s normal behaviour, turning your garden into a place that it doesn’t feel quite so comfortable. For best results, ensure that the motion sensor window on the front of the unit is not obscured by shrubbery or overhanging branches. The reason Scoot is such a popular fox deterrent is because it mimics the smell of another predator and makes the fox think its territory is being taken over. 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.Best fox repeller and deterrent overall Pestbye® Waterproof Cat Repellent Ultrasonic Repeller Cat Scarer with Ground Stake– absolute golden bonus it scares cats too Each works in a different way, and with varying levels of success for different people, so no single product can really be seen as being superior. We mixed up the fox repellent and put this stuff everywhere we could think of: hedges, flower beds, around the top and bottom of the fence, we weren’t taking any chances. And this brings me to one of the best features of this fox repellent, the fact it can be used anywhere and not cause damage to your plants, grass, seeds, or anything else. Fox deterrence isn’t a exact science, and often relies on a bit of trial and error to get the winning combination for your garden. But I hope the information in this episode has been helpful and given you a bit of insight into the mind of a fox and why they behave in the way they do

You can adjust the settings of the device in various ways according to your needs. For example, one setting uses ultrasound waves on frequencies only audible to squirrels, hedgehogs, and rabbits. Higher frequency settings are suitable for larger animals including foxes, while you can also use the powerful LED light separately or combined with the soundwaves. Wall spikes and another anti-climb products are a good option for deterring a fox, which can climb upwards of two metres, making most garden walls and fences easily to scale. Fox claws also help them get a firm grip when climbing, which is why a deterrent like wall spikes or anti-climb rollers are worth consideration.The repellent comes is 50g sachets that you then add to water and that gives you a fair old amount to pour/spray around your garden.
