If you would mean in misting?  I am not really sold on this.  just watch your downind side or setup so you can see your down wind side.

Ben,scent,(misting)works on coyotes,never tryed it for fox but dont see why it wouldnt work.Here is something to think about..You have a 5 acre or so field,with a 5 inch circle (trap) planted in it,what makes a fox/yote step in it?
