I'm trying to control a fox problem. What would you recommend? I can't shoot it because I'm in city limits and I don't know if my neighbors would report me. I'm thinking about mixing some cocoa with raw hamburger or fish, since chocolate kills canids(?)

Like I said my city has an ordinance against firearm discharge and my neighbors might be busybodies and get me fined. I don't want to take the chance.

>>2588189
Well, I have a cat, so an animal's probably gonna be hurt in this situation no matter what.

animal cage, bait it, wear gloves and turn it in to your local animal control once you catch it. I've done this with Racoons and possums. I also live in the city

Raccoons and possums are different. Foxes don't fall for traps. There's no way to get them in a cage.

Hate to tell you, but chocolate is more of a meme against canids than an actual poison. Every dog I've seen eat it just barfs it up and goes back and eats more. If it affects foxes at all, it's probably the same.

Not necessarily, cat and fox can coexist in peace. My cat has seen the fox a few times and just sits there staring at it like "are you a cat? should I hate you?" and the fox is like hmm, too big to eat, so I don't care =D

Also my cat is black and white so he thinks skunks are friends and tries to sniff them and they run away. I told him he's gonna get sprayed someday but he doesn't care.

What are the rules on air rifles? You can get incredibly powerful air rifles that won't be prohibited under the firearms ordinance.

So you want to kill off a fox so your cat can go outside and torture birds and squirrels all day? Cats destroy far more wildlife than foxes. Keep Mister Murdermitts inside for the sake of all the birds and squirrels.

youre going to have neighborhod cats in your yard
and other animals that arent foxes too
so a kill trap or poison is a bad idea
i would get a live trap and bait it with some catfood
that way you can make sure its the right animal
stick the whole trap in a box and hit it with the car exhaust
youre much better off getting a better fence though
theres just going to be another fox

I love foxes, anon, and if you'd like I can get you the name of a book where a guy breaks down that foxes really don't attack cats. They'll eat kittens, but cats will bully them away. Foxes are pretty skittish.

This guy is right. If you have a healthy cat, it's coyotes, not foxes, that you would want to worry about.

My cat chases the foxes down the street from me, is your cat some sort of a faggot? My cat is pure white and weighs 14 pounds, he looks like a fairy and he still fucks the foxes up, your cat must be a total faggot cat.

Lol cats are faggots anyways, but my cats live in harmony with our foxes. Years of having outside cats and seeing foxes right in my backyard multiple times, no accidents yet. Don't go killing shit willy nilly like some kind of wannabe cowboy boomer, don't harm them unless you actually have a good reason.

Have you ever considered you should learn to live in harmony with nature? Foxes aren't normally a problem and whatever issue you're having could easily be solved by not being retarded. But you're an Americunt so it's just YEAH KILL EM

Bait position (keep it safe and sound until the canny little bastards get used to raiding it) and then use a crossbow. A compound bow might also work but they're harder to learn and keep drawn while you line up.

Who's ever heard of a fox fucking up a cat? We have foxes in the garden all the time, worst case they rip open the garbage for leftovers, but they never touch pets.

.22 hollow point. I've done this in city limits. Population is so dense, it's hard to locate the shot. Don't shoot a house.

Foxes will definitely square up to moggies, and depending on size and season they can kill them too.

.22 air rifle. Lights out, window open.
Highly effective for possums.
Also some bait so it goes do the most discreet art of your garden.
Why are foxes a pest? Possums are loud af cackling away at night.

Several hours pass

>Sure enough, they're playing at the foot of the coop
>Get extremely angry, go in, grab and load my .22 lever action
Long story short, I ended up shooting the mother out of the tree, and executing her on the ground. Chicks were okay, still locked up and safe, but I left the three younger coons howling in the tree over their dead mother. At first I felt like I had done a bad thing by needlessly killing, then I was angry at leaving the three kids alive to harass the hens at a later date, now I'm thinking of ways to design a chicken run that is completely predator proof so I don't feel the need to kill again. Not much to do with OP's questionn, but I feel I have to share this before I can sleep. Was it right to kill? Should I try and trap the rest? All thoughts that leave me troubled as I lay in bed.

Yes. Always. They move into an area and destroy it.
