Scoot Fox Repellant 2 x 50gm

Product Information

Scoot is a scented fox repellent that gives foxes the false impression that another predator is trying to take over their territory. The coverage is highly customizable. The scope can go from 0 to 10 meters distance at a 120-degree arc. This gives you a protected zone of approximately 100 square meters. Furthermore, the height of the unit itself can also be elevated using the extension tube included in the kit. The Defenders STV415 model is a motion-activated jet spray device. It is equipped with PIR or Passive Infrared sensors that work by measuring varying levels of light from objects within its field of view. Upon detection of movement, the sensor will trigger the spray mechanism to release a jet stream of water. Thus, effectively driving away foxes and other nuisance animals.

The main downside for some people is that Scoot is higher maintenance than the FoxWatch, requiring you to be out in your garden every couple of days for around two weeks spraying the solution. While this seems a bit more hands on, it ensures the scent remains strong and consistent enough to be of concern to the fox.

The unit is made with heavy-duty IP-4 plastic material. This provides the device a weatherproof construction all year round. No wind, rain, snow, or ice can break it easily.
