Hi,
There's a gap between our neighbour's wall and ours where foxes like to eat whatever they've found and hide from our dog. I normally wouldn't worry too much, but our dog (terrier) has spent about 2 weeks now obsessing about getting to them and is starting to dig up our garden in the process.
The hidey-hole is about 100-200mm wide, 5m long and 3m high. I need to fill it somehow as unfortunately due to its position I can't simply block off fox access.
Whatever I fill it with has to:
- be permeable so I don't cause damp issues
- not provide additional bedding material for the foxes
- not put too much stress on the wall
- be applied from a 100mm gap above
- (ideally) not replace foxes with rats or mice!
So for me that rules out foam (not permeable), fibreglass insulation (too "beddy"), hardcore (too much stress on wall and a nightmare to apply), chicken wire (too difficult to apply to fill the space).
Does anyone have any ideas of anything (humane) I could use? Thanks!
