Avoiding foxes!

[Juanma Orta-Ocana]

Hello all,

I'm working in ecology in burrowing spiders. I have many problems with
foxes. I think they smell my odour and then they dig on the burrows and
destroy them. I'm loosing a lot of focal individuals.

Have anybody some idea on how to avoid foxes without dammage them?

I was thinking in chemical products, but I've no idea which ones.

Any suggestion will be wellcome.

Thanks,
