We use a product up North called Deer Fortress...to keep the deer off my flowers. It is made of dried blood from some animal.
It upset the cats quite a bit for at least a week, when I put two canisters in my large pots on the shore. They wouldn't come down and sit with us. After a time they caved, but I think they were disturbed by the dead smell-- which we couldn't perceive.
Alot easier than fox urine, IMO !
(if you decide to try it...Amazon has the best prices. --up to 1/2 retail).
We have had to lure animals out from under our study at times (mostly possums).
I do it with tasty food. Feed them for a while, like a week, and then one night stay up, and when they come out...block off the opening! That has always worked for us.
Once a raccoon went into our garage (which is not really a garage), when we were working outside. I lured him out, with a turkey leg...he was happy as a clam!
