Hoping this will work!
« on: September 30, 2014, 08:50:04 pm »
My neighbour texted me this morning at 5am to say that he had chased a fox away from my goose house, the fox was chewing at the door frame.  I have invested in a small paint brush and a bottle of extra, extra strong piri piri sauce and have applied it liberally to where foxy has been chewing, so, hopefully he will get a nasty surprise if he tries again.  :o :fc:

Lol please report back on how mr fox feels about piri-piri this has to be classed as valuable research!

I don't suppose you have CCTV trained on the goose house, do you? It would be worth seeing.

I hope it works because it doesn't stop dogs chewing stitches out   :innocent:

I've heard of piri piri with chicken but not goose  :-J

Still have the geese, no more chew marks so I think it may have worked. My son tells me that paprika mixed with salt and lemon juice makes for a "tastier" deterrant

I would be worried what my neighbour would be doing out at 5am and near my goose house... never mind the fox!
