To reduce fox activity around your property, take these steps:
Stop feeding wild birds – leftover seeds attract foxes.
Avoid food scraps on compost heaps – foxes scavenge for easy meals.
Secure your bins – use tight-fitting lids to prevent rummaging.
Store pet food properly – keep animal feed in sealed, fox-proof containers.
Once fox control treatment is complete, follow these steps to keep them away:
✅ No Wildlife Feeding – Avoid feeding birds or leaving food outside.
✅ Keep Waste Secure – Ensure bins are tightly closed and food scraps are disposed of properly.
✅ Protect Pet Food – Store pet and animal feed in secure containers to prevent access.
At Pest Shield, we provide tailored fox control solutions based on your situation:
🔹 Fox Repellents – Best used in areas where foxes can relocate. Less effective in areas with high fox populations.
🔹 Humane Trapping – Live cage traps provide a reliable solution. You must check traps daily by law. Once a fox is caught, contact us for removal. If multiple foxes are present, the trap can remain in place with additional charges for extra visits.
⚠️ Weekend management of traps may be necessary as per legal requirements.
Habitat: Foxes belong to the canine family and thrive in urban and rural areas, often making dens in burrows known as “earths.”
Diet: They are opportunistic feeders, eating berries, small mammals, insects, worms, and scavenging from rubbish bins.
Mating Season: January–February. During this time, foxes may be noisier, with barking and screaming sounds. Cubs are typically born in March, staying with their mother for 3–4 months.
Lifespan: Wild foxes live an average of 2 years.
