The population is Out.Of.Control.

We are on the very edge of suburbia/near rural. They are everywhere and bold as can be. No fear of humans or dogs.

and learned that they live only in South Africa and Swaziland. Deer, on the other hand, are a menace. My dad used to call them "woodland cattle." About the only thing you can do, besides getting a family of pumas to hang out in your yard, is put up an electric fence.

I have to reapply, of course, but the foxes haven't been back.

The deer, on the other hand, are as nonchalant as you can imagine.

That's a great idea.

Not as bad price, either.

Thanks!!!!

I park my truck pretty close to the tomato plant area. Maybe ten feet or so away.

Deer in our neighborhood are as tame as dogs....that they work to protect my gardens (you know how I feel about my 200 tomato plants!) is a testament to their effectiveness!

to keep them out of the sweet corn. Electric fence, no matter how staggered, just makes them screech and keep going....they can decimate a nearly ready plot overnight.

customers have to say about use of the device beyond deer (it certainly didn't deter hungry groundhogs last year!)

My new landlord has a small kitchen garden, and its surrounded by a wire with light electric shock. Might work. He does it for smaller critters.

And cross the top with some wire (creating a roof effect) to dissuade the pests from trying to jump the fence. I live in rural Conn,. and we have them everywhere.

Also, the turkeys are everywhere this year too.
