We've kept chickens for many years, and as such are very aware of the constant attentions of the local fox population.
We also have a couple of cats which we feed outside on a balcony at the back of our house (something we have also done for a long time).
Earlier this year I noticed that any uneaten catfood would completely disappear overnight - every night.
We recently started to take the food inside, which solved that problem. Now every morning we are regularly treated to a stinking fox poo at the precise location where the cat food would be. Not pleasant.
Does anybody out there have opinions on the relative merits of the various deterrent products that seem to be commercially available?
I am predisposed to using a chemical product like SCOOT
Any other ideas? (I personally favour euthenasia via a polonium spiked lump of meat) but Screwfix don't sell polonium).
