Bath Fox Control

Foxes are a typical pest in both urban and countryside regions of the UK. In general, they don’t pose a substantial risk to humans and seldom attack household pets. Fox control is extensively regulated in the United Kingdom, and some methods are completely unlawful. However, if foxes are an issue on your land there are some methods available which are often effective at managing the fox population.

The most effective approach to controlling a fox problem is simply to get rid of their usage of a food source. Bins can be kept securely shut by using elastic rope, and any other rubbish should be appropriately bagged and ideally stored in a secure container. If foxes are attempting to access a live food source such as pet chickens, the most effective method is to deter them from accessing it by improving the fence or cage. Generally, foxes will simply attempt to scavenge food from a location and if their food source is taken away they will move on quickly.

If foxes are a persistent problem, there are various other pest control methods available. Foxes can be trappedor shot, although both should only be performed by trained specialists. Amateur attempts at either method will usually be ineffective, and could even be illegal if performed in an inhumane manner. Expert pest control companies can offer advice on the most effective way to control a fox problem. They can help you to effectively remove any food source that the fox may be taking advantage of, and provide other ways of control if this is unsuccessful.
