Answers:    You could borrow a humane trap from animal control, typically, they will come out to remove the wild animal. If not, they should know how to direct you to the appropriate person - so pass them a call.

There are ways to repel these little guys though..

This should work next to foxes, too - I'd think! lol

Good luck! =)
What size bed should I take?
Human urine, fox urine (what's in some repellants), the aforementioned dog spend in dribs and drabs. Any predators scent should scare them bad. Once they're gone block off the deck next to fencing of some sort. Might want to put chicken wire losing the fencing. Embed into ground 4-6 inches so if they persist they run into obstruction when they dig.
