Point out to your neighbor the danger of bringing a known rabies carrier around your property by feeding them. That endangers humans and animals alike.
Don’t use poison. That could kill other animals and birds. Poison doesn’t discriminate.
I shot a fox recently with a .410 shotgun using #8 shot. I caught him in the field looking toward my coop and run. That was two weeks ago and he hasn’t returned. It wasn’t meant to kill him, just to sting him and warn him off. So far it has worked. Had that not worked I would have taken more drastic action. Rabies is a serious problem here and foxes and raccoons are the main carriers so we we certainly don’t encourage them to come around.
