Sounds like a good chance for you to use this situation to have that similar conversation with the misses.

Good Luck!

I think I will try to handle it that way...Thanks

Don't know how big your garden is but peeing around the perimeter of small gardens has kept many critters clear of it. Don't laugh you guys. It works!

Protected by .357 magnum three days a week, you guess which three!

How much damage to your fields and what about your neighbors. If they have a possibility of having rabies, you must put them down before a human is bit or cut! If one has they all have it.

Get rid of them all, with the help of your neighbors, you can track them down within a week, and finish them off.

No matter what your wife says =this is something you have to do before your own animals and pets are infected.

The urine thing works if they are healthy critters, if you are averse to providing it yourself or are a vegetarian you can get fox or coyote urine from most any place that has trapping supplies. Predators eat meat and it smells in the urine and prey animals will avoid the area it is found. If they are rabid and their little brains are scrambled all bets are off!

I would take years to pee all the way around my garden....hair works well also but you have to replace it everytime it rains...

Not to worried about the neighbors, they are pretty far away if the critter finds his way over there he most likley will not find his way back....here LOL
