Fox control

Foxes

Foxes are an increasing nuisance in towns. They cause problems of noise, digging, fouling, going through bins, leaving food debris lying about. Foxes will attack pets. Mange is carried by foxes which can be picked up by dogs but more seriously Roundworm is a parasite in foxes that can cause blindness in children.

Control

For the above reasons foxes need to be controlled. There are 2 methods that we use, live trapping or shooting. Shooting is the preferred method as it is more cost effective, achieves better results & more humane. Shooting is done at dusk. Not all sites are suitable
for shooting. When trapping is carried out we ask the customer to check the traps twice a day & occasionally tip food into the trap. The customer must then call the office as soon as a fox is caught.

Costs

For shooting we charge an initial call out followed by a charge for each fox shot. Trapping is charged for the initial set-down & pickup & then per visit. Not all fox trapping/shooting programs are successful. Foxes are unpredictable & clever.
