Scoot Fox Repellant 2 x 50gm

Product Information

The Volador fox deterrent not only relies on ultra-high frequency noise to scare away pests, it also has a setting where a bright flashing light is triggered by the sensors instead and this could work better with some animals. I have a fairly small garden and a family of six foxes have just taken residence. I want to get a deterrent but I have two cats and many of the deterrents seem to affect cats as well. Can you please advise which is the best option in these circumstances?” The FoxWatch is durable, safe and humane for all animals and is something you can set and forget without ongoing attention or maintenance. As foxes are especially persistent, the FoxWatch acts as a good automatic deterrent that can be left on all the time (with mains adapter or battery), deterring foxes regardless of the time of day or if you’re in or out.

The plastic used for the housing is on par with the Pestbye model, and it has been tested for weatherproofing and has been certified with a IP68 rating, which basically means you don’t have to think twice about leaving this fox deterrent outside in any weather. However, a useful product that works in a similar way and is available in the US is bottled Wolf Urine [aff] It’s recommended that you use more than one type of fox deterrent because this means the fox will always have two or more of its senses instinctively warning it about the area – and foxes place great trust in their instincts telling them whether to proceed or retreat.The strips are a mesh design, covered in lots of small spikes that are harmless to the animal, but they still irritate them so much once they start digging or scratching that they no longer want to dig in that spot. So what are the best cat-friendly fox deterrents to use in your garden? The FoxWatch Ultrasonic Deterrent Citronella is a popular ingredient in scent-based animal repellents due to its strong, off-putting smell, but without causing any harm to wildlife or plants. The main downside for some people is that Scoot is higher maintenance than the FoxWatch, requiring you to be out in your garden every couple of days for around two weeks spraying the solution. While this seems a bit more hands on, it ensures the scent remains strong and consistent enough to be of concern to the fox.

Scoot non-toxic and doesn’t contain any nasty chemicals that harm animals or wildlife. It doesn’t cause any ‘harm’ to foxes either. It’s simply a humane way of making foxes think they need to move on from the area.With the different types of products out there all vying for your money and promising to get rid of your fox problem, it’s tempting to buy them all and carry out an all-out assault on that craft critter. For example: “I’m not sure about that fox repellent. I don’t want to harm my cat trying to get rid of the fox.” Scoot comes in 50g sachets of powder that should be mixed with water. 9 litres of water added to 50g of Scoot will cover an area of up to 16sqm (172sq ft).

If you’re unsure, add around 5 litres of water and see if this is enough to cover the areas in need of protection. Each box of Scoot contains 2 x 50g sachets of powder. Each 50g sachet diluted with 9 litres of water covers an area of 16m 2. Older models of these fox deterrents used to work on just motion sensors but were often triggered by things other than animals and this led to dead batteries, so IR sensors are definitely a step up. Alternatively, you can fix this onto any wall, and there’s even a convenient hanging hole already included in the design. While you’ve been thinking about what effect a fox repellent might or might not have on your cat, you may have actually overlooked the thing that is upsetting your cat the most…The second area where Volador try to beat their competition, is with the sensor range. This model has a much wider arc of 110 degrees, and in addition to that it has a longer maximum range of 9 metres/ 30 feet. With these products, the results are usually not instantaneous, so be prepared to wait a week or even two before it changes the foxes behaviour, and if it’s still not working, try playing within the frequency range. Costing around 30 pounds, it is the more expensive of the two ultrasound fox repellants we are reviewing here today, and it does have some upgrades over the cheaper model such as a wider range for the sensor and a flashing light function.
