Scoot is a patented non toxic formula used to keep foxes away from protected areas. It works by mimicking scent marking odours thus leading any foxes that may be present to vacate the area in the belief that another animal has taken over its territory. Scoot is totally safe for use in gardens, on plants and edible crops and is humane, bio-degradable and very effective. Please Note: Scoot is a "re-active" spray, which means its repellent properties are dependent upon a chemical reaction taking place between the product and the Foxes own scent.
