About Foxes

Although foxes were formerly found in rural areas, they have made the towns and cities of the UK their home, not least because of the amount of waste we throw away.

As natural scavengers, they know that we are good sources of food and they’re unlikely to give up the easy life modern life has provided them with. Unfortunately, this leads some to become bold – they visit certain gardens repeatedly and even enter properties through catflaps and open doors.

How to Deal with a Fox Problem

One of the most important things you can do is limit a fox’s ability to feed off your rubbish, so we recommend keeping it out of reach or making it as difficult as possible for them to get to it.

Additionally, though there is little risk of humans catching a disease through contact with a fox (they don’t carry rabies but two out of every million people might be affected by a parasitic ringworm they may have), hutched pets like rabbits, chickens and guinea pigs should be kept as securely as possible to prevent foxes gaining access to them.

​

Our expert team can pinpoint the reason fox activity has increased around your property and take steps to prevent their access in addition to discouraging them from coming back. Whether this involves blocking off entry points or setting traps, you can rest assured that foxes won’t cause any problems around your property in the future. We specialise in using humane deterrents, such as proofing and non-lethal traps.
