This morning I thought I saw a very large rat in my garden. Opened patio door and two foxes appeared and dragged what were in fact two Fox Cubs underneath the decking. I have been aware for a few months that a couple of foxes regularly travel through my garden to and fro between neighbouring gardens.
Not happy with having a fox lair at the bottom of my garden so phoned Greenwich council. Apparently foxes are not considered vermin so councils not obliged to remove them. On the Greenwich website there is a link to a company called Fox a Gon. Phoned them and they quoted £300 to remove the foxes and Cubs. Then there is an additional cost to fox proof the area. Apparently foxes have litters of between 4 and 6. The guy said the first week in April they are always inundated with calls as people start going into their gardens and coming across fox litters. At the moment it is 4 or 5 days to get an appointment. In a few weeks it will be up to 21 days. I want to sort it out as soon as possible.
Anyone have experience of Fox a Gon?

He'll pay you to let him 'remove' them.
They look cute but they are, in my view, vermin
Foxes will not bother you again
I think you will find they piss and shit too...
Fantastic Mr Fox has made the fox look more less like a feral dog with even worse shit than dogs and more like some sort of hero animal.
It’s nonsense, they are not tame. You would not leave a bunch of 6 Staffordshire terriers untrained in your garden, why would you leave foxes?
My wife asked when I was going to put it back outside, but I told her I wanted to keep it as a pet.
"what about the disgusting smell?" she asked.
My reply: "Well I got used to you, so I'm sure he will too!!"

It's fine. If I was to write a play about Brexit I'd totally base a character on you. Wouldn't have to change a thing. 'Fox A Gon' has quite the ring to it!
If you're a suburban homeowner who uses Fox A Gon then you're a villain in a kid's movie
Let’s all start using the forum like adults eh? Please?
