Foxes are noisy and cause mess in gardens by breaking into rubbish bins, digging up flower beds and fouling lawns and patios. They can attack pets and carry mange which is dangerous for dogs. A more serious issue is that they carry roundworm (Toxocara Canis), a parasite that can cause blindness in children.
Preparation you must undertake prior to treatment
- Keep a record of times and dates when you see foxes and ask your neighbours if they have seen them.
- Don’t feed wild birds.
- Don’t put food on your compost heap.
- Keep rubbish bins securely closed.
- Store animal food in fox proof containers.

How our treatment works
Our technician will discuss which treatment option will be most effective for your situation.
Repellent
This only works if there’s another area that a fox can move to but if the fox population pressure is high then this is unlikely to happen.
Trapping
This is the most effective treatment. Our technician will use live catch cage traps, however, these can only be used if you are able to check them daily which is a legal requirement. You must call the office when a fox is caught and a technician will come to remove it.
In some instances it may be necessary for you to unset and set the trap over weekends.
Facts about foxes
The fox is a member of the dog family and is found in country and urban areas. They make their homes by digging holes in the ground called ‘earths’ and eat wild food such as berries, small mammals, insects, worms and fruit mixed with bird food, refuse and carrion.
The average life span of foxes in the wild is 2-years. They mate in January and February which causes a nuisance with their barking and screaming. Litters are born in March with an average five cubs. The cubs are weaned at 5-weeks but may stay with the mother for 3 to 4-months.
