Liverpool Fox Control

Foxes are a common pest in both urban and countryside areas of the UK. Usually, they do not pose a substantial risk to humans and rarely attack pets. Fox control is extensively regulated in the UK, and some methods are totally unlawful. However, if foxes are a problem on your land there are some methods available which can be effective at managing the fox population.

The most effective method of controlling a fox problem is simply to get rid of their usage of a food source. Bins can be held safely closed by using elastic rope, and any other waste materials should be adequately bagged and ideally stored in a secure container. If foxes are trying 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. Frequently, foxes will simply attempt to scavenge food from a location and if their food source is removed 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 experts. Amateur attempts at either method will typically be ineffective, and could even be against the law 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 exploiting, and provide other ways of control if this is unsuccessful.
