Mechanism

Potency and Effectiveness

    Fox urine lasts two to three weeks after application. Fox urine will not repel animals that are not prey to the fox, such as wolves and tortoises.

Squirrels

Skunks

Chipmunks

    Chipmunks stay away when they think they smell their predator.Chipmunks consume seeds and plant material. Spreading fox urine around a garden will keep them from destroying the plants.
