Foxes are a common pest in both urban and countryside areas of the UK. Mostly, they do not pose a significant danger to humans and rarely attack domestic pets. Fox control is heavily regulated in the UK, and some methods are totally illegal. However, if foxes are a problem on your property there are several methods available which can be effective at handling the fox population.
The most effective way of controlling a fox problem is simply to remove their usage of a food source. Bins can be kept safely closed by using elastic rope, and any other rubbish should be suitably bagged and preferably 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 improving the fence or cage. Usually, foxes will simply try to scavenge food from an area and if their food source is removed they will move on quickly.
If foxes are a prolonged issue, there are some other pest control methods available. Foxes can be trappedor shot, although both should only be performed by trained experts. Amateur attempts at either method will typically be ineffective, and may even be illegal if performed in an inhumane way. Professional 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 provide other ways of control if this is unsuccessful.
