Great Yarmouth Fox Control

Foxes are a typical pest in both urban and countryside areas of the UK. Generally, they do not present a significant danger to humans and seldom attack domestic pets. Fox control is heavily regulated in the UK, and some methods are entirely unlawful. However, if foxes are an issue on your land there are some methods available which may be effective at managing the fox population.

The most effective approach to controlling a fox problem is simply to remove their usage of a food source. Bins can be kept securely closed by using elastic rope, and any other waste materials should be properly bagged and ideally kept 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. Usually, 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 repeated issue, there are other pest control methods available. Foxes can be trappedor shot, although both should only be done by trained specialists. Amateur attempts at either method will typically be ineffective, and could even be unlawful if performed in an inhumane manner. Qualified pest control companies will be able to offer advice on the best 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 offer other methods of control if this is unsuccessful.
