After learning paying a trapper to remove a fox I have would cost $500 to set a trap and remove, I ordered a 75 dollar trap. Trapper dude says sometimes just setting a trap prompts them to relocate. Also said they leave when they run out of cats and rabbits.

They'll generally move away once thi kits are grown, at least they do here. I love the free pest control too. They also can have fleas

This time of year it could be a vixen with her kits. "Damn you Attenborough", they generally seek more open spaces once they're bigger. They do here anyway

Take it for a ride in the countryside. He needs a change of scenery.
we have those for all my garden visitors. by law we are not allowed to trap and relocate anything here; however we still do. we drove 10 miles out of the county with a groundhog (not one that my dog killed; she isn't 100% successful) in the back of the subaru and HOLY SHIT the odor on that guy was putrid. he had shit all in the cage, and smeared it all over the leaves that were in it. we were both gagging the whole way, but there are too many park rangers near our house so we didn't have a choice but to drive him pretty far out.
those cages work a charm, though. we use them in the garage for mice too. one of our tricks is to smear peanut butter on the top center, right above the lever thing on the bottom, so the animal will pretty much always trip the door to get to the peanut butter.

I have a highly manicured garden which I spend all my time in. I live in a city. This one fox has been here since January at the least. It's defecating in a single area, damaging plants and making a continuous cleanup headache for me. I was controlling rabbits just fine with a slingshot. I've picked up dozens and dozens of poops since January.20240523_084148.jpg

It's finding an adequate food source in your garden. Maybe if the fox left you would find a significant damage from rodents. I'd rather have fox shit than no garden
