I have four stray cats who sleep in the garage at night and lately I have noticed an odor coming from their "bedroom" that would simply take your breath away. Being OCD, I have hunted for the source of this odor for weeks. I even started thinking about getting rid of the cats by trapping them with the help of the Havahart® Feral Cat Trap Rescue Kit. I have all but been down on my hands and knees, sniffing the floor for this horrific smell with no avail.
Learning How to Get Rid of Fox Became a Top Priority
Finally, after hours of moving things around and cleaning non-stop all afternoon, my hero of a husband waltzes in and finds the cause of this putrid odor - the garage door. I have been jokingly threatening to get rid of my cats for weeks and it wasn't even the cats that were spraying! As one of my neighbors was walking by I explained to him what had happened and thinking it was stray cats that would smell my cats in the garage and spray the outside, he takes one whiff and says "that is fox pee!" I knew right then I had to figure out how to get rid of foxes in a hurry!
How to Get Rid of Fox? Pee Is the Key!
It turns out that fox urine is one potent pee and very difficult to get rid of. Imagine cat spray times 50! Yes, that bad! So after a little digging and cleaning, I learned how to get rid of foxes without killing or relocating them. It required a little help from my husband and alot of "water". I begged my husband to wait until after dark and to go around the house and, well, pee. When the foxes came by and smelled another males urine, they would get scared and run.
So, being the good sport he is, my husband urinated all around our house. This was a week or so ago and thankfully, there has not been one problem since. Of course, he will have to pee around the house a few more times to keep these sly foxes away, but I don't think he minds. In fact, I think it makes him feel that, because he knows how to get rid of a fox, he’s the king of his castle, literally!
