There is a season on foxes, and season is not open. Call the Fish and Game.
Kit foxes maybe protected, they have a black line down the top of their tail
Foxes are real suckers for sardines packed in oil. Take two cans, pour them out from 6' high on the bark of a tree on two sides, you are creating a scent post. Now put another two open cans out on the ground at the base of the tree. They will come up right to your house. After they find the bait station, dry dog food will suffice.
Make a false door out of cardboard or 1/4" plywood, put a hole in it to shoot out of. You can put a table, inside the house with sandbags and chair, all you have to do is push the safety off.
If you want to get more elaborate, put out three sensor lights forming a triangle. Put Red Lights in the sensor lights, and the foxes can not see the color red at all. The sensor lights can trip a beeper that you carry to bed with you. When the beeper sounds the alarm, do not turn on the lights in your house. Use a flash light with a red lens to see with in your house, Ebay has them, AA Mag lights with red lens. You will need a depredation permit to dispatch the problem animals if they are not in season, and I am assuming that you have a hunting license.
You will be attracting coyotes and neighbor's yard dogs also. Your wife is going to hate you for being woke up at night.
I have killed a lot of foxes using Electronic callers and hand calls. They can be hard to put down and keep down, but a CCI mini mag hollow point in the lungs will get the job done, but they may run off.
