FoxWatch Fox Deterrent

Foxes are natural born killers - even when they are not hungry they will instinctively kill small domestic pets, racing pigeons or wildlife including rabbits, guinea pigs, small birds, ducks, chickens and fish as a matter of course. A secure pigeon loft is often no guarantee of defence against a determined fox.

Foxes carry and spread many diseases harmful to man and other animals including Weils disease (leading to possible organ damage/ failure); Toxacarisis (causing blindness in children) and Sarcoptic Mange which is easily transmitted to domestic dogs causing skin irritation, loss of fur, possible death and expensive vets bills. Foxes also continually mark their territory with scent, urine and faeces presenting a considerable health risk to adults and children alike.

Foxwatch uses the principles of animal behavioural response patterns to communicate the clear message or threat that the fox is not welcome. Uniquely, each time the fox approaches its body heat and movement are detected and activate an ultrasound alarm (calibrated to be extremely loud to foxes ears but inaudible to humans). As the fox retreats the alarm stops and in this way the fox learns to associate its movement with the noise and give a wide berth to the protected area of over 1,350 sq ft.
