Dead Fox Removal

Iamzod · 15 Jan 2007 at 00:25

Been building a garage last autumn but all came to a stop over the winter due to the weather turning our garden into a swamp.

Had a double garage door laid down on our garden for a few months when work stopped, gone back to finish digging the footings for the base today and it seems that a fox has decided to take shelter under the door and died.

Problem is, it has probably been there a while, over a month, it's full of maggots, it stinks and just looking at it makes me want to puke.

Anyone know of any way of getting someone else to come & move it as i cant go near it :eek:

You big girl, just grab and spade and chuck it into next door's garden.

Just be strong.

It's like cleaning out animal litter trays. Hold you're breath, get in there with a shovel, straight into a black bag, into the wheeley bin and you are done!

If the stench is horrific spray a load of air freshener in the vicinity... a Glade Pacific Breeze industrial strength can really helps to take the edge off.

I don't think that's cool enough.

A flaming monkey 70 miles off Lands End with a rock band playing in the background is more to his tastes.

That is, if he could post about it thereafter.

Are you sure it's dead? Have you tried poking it with a stick, to make sure?

Treat as roadkill, lightly fry each side and serve with cabbage and potatoes.

just pick it up with a spade and into a bin liner.

your only other option would be to look in the yellow pages to pay for someone to do it for you.

Not a chance, last month i had to move some stuff in the existing garage & uncovered a dead mouse covered in woodlice, i shot out of the garage quicker than you can say BOO!

I have a problem going near insects for some reason, therefore a fox full of maggots is a no-no.

what's it going to do, spring back to life, shake off the maggots and try to eat you?

Lassoo the tail with some fine cotton and tie the other end to a neighbors car, inform local hunt, job done.

It aint the fox that bothers me, it's the insects, i know they cant harm me, even things like ladybirds can freak me out.

Embrace your fear and go do it!

By the way, isn't it a bit cold for maggots? Are you sure it's maggots you've seen? You may want to take a another look, you may think it's worse than it really is.
