Foxes

Last year, we'd problems with foxes -- on one occasion there were 4 cubs and their mum tussling on our back grass (I'd normally say "lawn", but we're not posh enough).

Upstairs neighbour and I got a vulpicide guy to get rid of them.

Not successful so far -- see above. (I know what you "Live and let Live" guys will be saying : the faecal evidence could be due to a squirrel with collapsed anal sphincter muscle problems, or due to an ill-disciplined dog in our area. Don't think so, but am prepared to pay for vulpine DNA tests.)

I probably sound a bit anal about this. (Sorry about the long grass. In Edin, one struggles to cut the grass -- one day dry, the next two or three pluvial.)
