Foxes are a typical pest in both urban and countryside regions of the United Kingdom. Usually, they do not pose a serious danger to humans and rarely attack house animals. Fox control is heavily regulated in the United Kingdom, and some methods are completely unlawful. However, if foxes are an issue on your property there are several methods available that can be effective at managing the fox population.
The best method of controlling a fox problem is simply to eliminate their access to a food source. Bins can be kept securely closed by using elastic rope, and any other waste materials should be properly bagged and ideally stored in a secure container. If foxes are attempting to gain access to a live food source such as pet chickens, the most effective method is to prevent them from accessing it by strengthening the fence or cage. In general, foxes will simply try to scavenge food from a location and if their food source is taken away they’ll move on quickly.
If foxes are a prolonged issue, there are various other pest control methods available. Foxes can be trappedor shot, although both should only be done by trained experts. Amateur attempts at either method will usually be ineffective, and may even be illegal if carried out in an inhumane manner. Qualified pest control companies can offer advice on the most effective way to control a fox problem. They can help you to properly remove any food source that the fox may be taking advantage of, and provide other ways of control if this is unsuccessful.

Get Canterbury pest removal
Canterbury is one of the most well-known cities in the country, having a strong link to the Christian belief and is the Archbishop of Canterbury’s house as well. Other famous names include Thomas Beckett and Christopher Marlowe. Canterbury ended up being predominantly targeted by German bombers in the course of World War Two, and so gives a range of both pre and post-war homes, however the cobbled streets and small back alleys remain from centuries ago. Canterbury is the sole city in Kent and possesses a reasonably small population of close to 60,000.
