Fox Pest Control London | Urban Fox Removal and Control

Are foxes dangerous in the UK?

Foxes are common intruders in the UK. While they aren't dangerous to humans and pets, there are rare cases where they’ve attacked people. Additionally, foxes can cause many problems, such as:

Cause Damage: foxes expanded their territory to cities where they have more food sources. As they are scavengers, foxes will most commonly search for food in rubbish disposals. This means they scatter garbage all over the streets.
Hunt: other preferable foods to foxes are small animals such as rodents or frogs. They’re also a worry for farmers and pet owners, as they feed on poultry, birds and rabbits.
Carry disease: foxes can carry rabies and a bite can cause serious infection. Not only that but, you can also be exposed to bacteria from their faeces. Foxes usually enter gardens and this way you or your pet can be affected.

How our fox control service works

1.

Survey

We will send a fox control technician to your property to inspect and recommend the best fox removal treatment. Any signs, entry points, and damage caused by the fox will be thoroughly checked.

2.

Treatment

During fox spraying, we use a product that mimics the pheromones one fox uses to mark its territory, which repels an intruder. When trapping, cages with bait are placed in areas where foxes have been spotted.

3.

Observation

To ensure complete removal of foxes, spraying against them should be done twice a week, plus one more visit if needed. Neither plants nor animals are harmed by this fox control method.

4.

Prevention

You will receive useful tips from the fox exterminator on how to prevent future fox disturbances. By removing pet food, securing trash cans, and eliminating den sites, you can deter foxes from your garden.

Fox Control FAQ

Can I kill foxes on my property?

Since foxes are a non-protected species, shooting them is legal as long as you have your landowner's permission and the proper firearm license. However, some methods of killing, such as poisoning, are illegal.

How to get rid of foxes without killing them?

Deterring foxes can be done by masking their scent with something they dislike. Mix the chilli pepper and garlic in water, and boil it. Blend the mixture, then spray it in any part of the garden.

Do lights keep foxes away?

Foxes are nocturnal animals, so lighting up the environment will help keep them away. Motion sensor lights make a great first step in deterring foxes from your property.

How much does it cost to remove foxes?

It depends on the method you decide to use, but fox removal can cost anywhere from £100 to £300. Detering foxes with spraying start from £120.

Can pest control get rid of foxes?

In some cases, pest control companies kill foxes. The cost of killing and disposing of an animal on your property is your responsibility. Foxes can also be controlled by spraying. Residual odours are like another fox marking their territory, which acts as a repellent.

Will council remove foxes?

A local council is legally obligated to control pests such as rats and mice, but not urban foxes. It is not the Council's responsibility to eradicate foxes on private or other lands since they are classified as wild animals, not pests.
