Live in harmony with foxes . We should appreciate this beautiful and intelligent mammal that has adapted to live alongside us in cities . To outfox them , wrap wire mesh  around potted plants to stop them digging, provide a teether to deter cubs from chewing your possessions - and keep a poo scoop handy. Try fox watching from your windows as the nights draw in for an up-close wildlife encounter for all the family .
