If a fox is barking at night what can you do?

A fox barking at night is typically not a sign of aggression, but rather a way for the fox to communicate with other foxes or to alert them to potential danger. If you hear a fox barking at night, there are a few things you can do:

1. Ignore it: In most cases, the best thing to do is simply ignore the barking. The fox will likely stop barking after a while.

2. Make noise: If the barking is persistent and disruptive, you can try making some noise to scare the fox away. Bang on pots and pans, clap your hands, or shout.

3. Use a water hose: If the fox is barking from a close distance, you can try spraying it with a water hose. This will likely startle the fox and cause it to run away.

4. Remove attractants: If you have noticed foxes consistently barking near your property, it is possible that there is something that is attracting them, such as food or shelter. Try to remove any potential attractants and see if that helps reduce the barking.

It's important to note that foxes are generally shy animals and will avoid contact with humans whenever possible. However, if you feel that a fox is posing a threat to you or your property, you should contact your local animal control agency.
