yukky fox poo

[Cahill]

Are other hho`ers finding an abundance of fox-poo in their fields at the moment or are all the little blighters coming to mine to do their business :-( ?

not had much on the yard although they seem to be using our work car park as a toilet and being a bit dopey I managed to step in some in my work shoes yuk!

Yup, plenty in my field, dirty foxes just sit and look at you then trot off at their leisure grrrrrrrrrrrr

found some round the feed dishes today, think they must be coming up and polishing off the horses leftovers.

Tomato ketchup kills the smell of fox or badger poo. When my girls (labs) roll in it I slosh ketchup on and then rinse off, really works. Foxes are using our gateway as a public loo at the moment.

Ive noticed loads of poo round the horses muck, but its full of seeds, stones (as in cherry/plum etc rather than rocks!)and what look like beetle cases, so I thought we have mink/stoats rather then foxes...plus Im not getting the 'mouth full' of fox smell that seems to linger for hours after basil brush has departed.....hmmmmmmm

I`m having to keep a close eye on my dog,i don`t want her to get a neck full of black slimey poo.urgh

I am getting loads - about 10 poos - a night at the moment. I assumed it was fox but it doesnt actually smell that bad so it could be mink/stoat as rosehip says - has got me thinking now!!

Anyone got any ideas how to repel them??- they are doing it on the lawn as well as field so danagerous for the children as well as yukky on my boots and horses feet

I'm getting loads too, enough for a family of them, nevermind one. I've lived here for 12 years & never remember having this problem before.

On close inspection ours have also been eating fruit, including apples from our orchard I expect. Found some baby bunny feet in one lot too.

Both my neighbours have the same pooey problem at the moment so there must be more than one doing it. I wonder why they like horse paddocks & lawns?

All the poo seems to be right next to the horses muck...really wierd! Almost as though whoever is doing the poo is waiting for the beetles???!! Having said that I saw a huge dog fox carrying someones leg across our yard car park this morning - has a right fright when the stallion and I mooched round the corner! lol!
