msmoppet Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 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.

Dogkennelhillbilly Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Experienced it - yes. Stopped it - noooo... It's extra terrifying because the screeches sound so close to humans screams sometimes.

Spartacus Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 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.

mrwb Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 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!

Siduhe Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Wax or silicon earplugs - only thing that worked for me. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/332721-screeching-foxes-at-night-suggested-solutions/#findComment-1638135 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Try an ultrasonic pet scarer. The FOXWatch Ultrasonic Fox Deterrent | Repel foxes now Fox Repellent Expert https://foxrepellentexpert.com › foxwatch-ultrasonic-d... 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.
