Fox Repellent Expert Podcast
Benjamin from the Fox Repellent Expert website shares tips, advice and information on urban foxes and how to humanely deter them, so you can protect your garden from their damage and destruction. Discover how foxes view your garden and understand what deterrent and repellent tools you can use to minimise their pooing, digging, chewing and all the other common fox problems. Benjamin has been running Fox Repellent Expert since 2010, when he first experienced the frustrations of urban foxes after moving to Croydon in South London, and discovered there was a lack of quality fox deterrent information online. The site has continually evolved and is on it's way to becoming the Number 1 resource for information on humane fox deterrence in the UK. If you are from Europe, North America or anywhere else in the world with a large fox population, you are also very welcome and will find much of the content useful. It's important to remember that foxes are not the enemy, nor do they do anything to deliberately spite you. They thrive in our towns and cities because our lifestyles provide them with the means to do so. That being said, they are often a nuisance and this podcast will equip you with the knowledge to reduce their negative impact, enabling you to live harmoniously with these fascinating creatures, while also taking back control of your garden.
