At a previous property we had foxes We are always fed our foxes, They never used our garden as a toilet
There's an old old expression Don't defecate on your on doorstep
If you feed them and look after them then they will respect your property Also foxes are very cute and quite entertaining (edited)
Foxes are hunter-scavengers and perfectly capable of finding food for themselves, and do not need to have their feeding supplemented by human intervention.
I used Jeyes fluid around an area where cats and foxes would take there dumps. They've never come back. Also, I've heard a splash of your own urine works too....🤷♂️ (edited)

Isn't Jeyes fluid dangerous for plants?
I know cats don't like spent coffee grounds mixed with cayenne pepper. sprinkle it over the garden - should do no harm
We have them in the rear garden and there are dropping everywhere. Either resting on top of a shed or in a dip they have dug under a tree. Most effective for the latter was a local cat who left its droppings there and filled in the dip. Lasted for a good month.
Back today on top of the shed and then sauntered off to where ever it resides along the wall. My wife went out with the chilli, but it's tricky on top of the shed (we have had it on a table eating bird seed.....).
One of these from Amazon or eBay. If the fox in on your property, it's trespass as as long as you have a sign up these are fine to use.
