Northwich Fox Control

Foxes are a typical pest in both urban and countryside areas of the United Kingdom. Mostly, they don’t present a substantial risk to humans and seldom attack house animals. Fox control is extensively regulated in the United Kingdom, and some methods are totally unlawful. However, if foxes are an issue on your land there are a few methods available which may be effective at controlling the fox population.

The most effective way of controlling a fox problem is simply to eliminate their usage of a food source. Bins can be kept securely shut by using elastic rope, and any other waste materials 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 deter them from accessing it by improving the fence or cage. Usually, foxes will simply try 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 some other pest control methods available. Foxes can be trappedor shot, although both should only be carried out by trained experts. Amateur attempts at either method will generally be ineffective, and could even be unlawful if performed in an inhumane way. Qualified 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 methods of control if this is unsuccessful.
