Screeching foxes at night - suggested solutions?

[msmoppet]

Foxes are waking us every single night with their screeching at 3am. 

Anyone else experiencing this in their street and any suggestions to resolve? 

It's honestly been every night for days now and wakes me with such a start.

Experienced it - yes. Stopped it - noooo... It's extra terrifying because the screeches sound so close to humans screams sometimes.

It's nature, whilst the weather is warm Mr and Mrs fox are busy producing new young ones.

Hopefully when it's cooler their ardor will also cool down.

There isn't a solution other than blocking the noise out somehow. Hard in this weather if you have windows open.

Realistically impossible to get rid of them without other collateral damage and hunting them through the night doesn't seem too probable or possible in a City like London!

Wax or silicon earplugs - only thing that worked for me.

Try an ultrasonic pet scarer.

When the fox enters the detection area, the FOXWatch emits blasts of high-pitched noises. The noises continue to sound until the fox leaves the protected area.

You can get ones that don't rely on detection but just blast out ultr sonic sound.

This might work. Illegal though....

We are approaching mating time when the solitary creatures seek mates - you are blessed to hear their entreaties !
