Windsor Fox Control

Foxes are a common pest in both urban and countryside regions of the UK. Mostly, they don’t pose a significant risk to humans and rarely attack pets. Fox control is heavily regulated in the UK, and some methods are completely unlawful. However, if foxes are an issue on your property there are several methods available which are often effective at managing the fox population.

The most effective approach to controlling a fox problem is simply to get rid of their usage of a food source. Bins can be held safely shut by using elastic rope, and any other waste materials should be suitably bagged and preferably 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 stop them from accessing it by improving the fence or cage. In general, foxes will simply attempt to scavenge food from an area and if their food source is removed they’ll move on quickly.

If foxes are a persistent issue, there are 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 could even be illegal if carried out 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 correctly remove any food source that the fox may be taking advantage of, and provide other ways of control if this is unsuccessful.
