Foxes are a typical pest in both urban and countryside regions of the UK. Mostly, they do not pose a significant risk to humans and seldom attack pets. Fox control is heavily regulated in the UK, and some methods are totally banned. However, if foxes are a problem on your land there are several methods available which may be effective at managing the fox population.
The best approach to controlling a fox problem is simply to remove their access to a food source. Bins can be held securely shut by using elastic rope, and any other waste should be adequately bagged and ideally kept in a secure container. If foxes are attempting to access a live food source such as pet chickens, the most effective method is to stop them from accessing it by improving the fence or cage. In general, foxes will simply attempt to scavenge food from a location and if their food source is taken away they’ll 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 normally be ineffective, and may even be against the law if performed in an inhumane manner. Expert pest control companies will be able to offer advice on the most effective way to control a fox problem. They can help you to correctly remove any food source that the fox may be exploiting, and offer other methods of control if this is unsuccessful.

The London Borough of Hackney is a north east London Borough within Inner London in the United Kingdom. Southern and eastern parts of the borough are popularly, but unofficially, regarded as being a part of east London, with northern and western locations deemed to belong to north London. The London Plan, issued by the Greater London Authority, assigns entire boroughs to sub-regions for statutory monitoring, engagement and resource allocation purposes. The latest 2011 iteration of this program assigns Hackney towards the ‘East’ sub-region, even though the 2008 and 2004 versions assigned the borough to ‘North’ and ‘East’ sub-regions respectively.
Hackney is bounded by Islington towards the west, Haringey towards the north, Waltham Forest towards the north-east, Newham to the east, Tower Hamlets towards the south-east along with the City of London towards the south-west. It covers a total area of 7.36 square miles. Based on population estimates from 2014, the borough features a permanent population of around 263150 people. Much of Hackney retains an inner-city character, but in such locations as Dalston large housing estates have been joined by newly developed gated communities. The historical and administrative heart of Hackney is the area roughly extending north from Mare Street and around the Church of St John-at-Hackney; known as Hackney Central.
To the east is the large open space of Hackney Marshes plus the districts of Hackney Wick and Homerton. Light industries in the area around the River Lea employ more than 3000 personnel. Some of the area was employed for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
