Controlling fox infestations

Foxes are resourceful animals that often take advantage of human environments for food and shelter. Their presence on your property can lead to damage, unpleasant smells, and potential health risks. Our fox pest control in Downe is designed to address these issues effectively, ensuring that foxes are removed humanely and effectively.

Preventing a fox problem

Secure bins

Like many animals, foxes are attracted to easily accessible food sources, such as bins and rubbish bags. Keep your bins secure and ensure all waste is tightly sealed at all times, especially if you’re experiencing a fox problem in your area.

Close off hiding places

Foxes often take shelter under sheds, decking, or in overgrown gardens. Inspect your property for gaps or hidden spaces and block these to deter them. Fencing off areas and sealing gaps and cracks in walls and fences is effective for many pests.

Remove food sources

Avoid leaving pet food, scraps, or other edible items outside, as these can encourage foxes to visit your property. Just as you should keep bins and food waste secure, try to keep pet or bird food secure whilst dealing with foxes.

Signs of a fox problem

Garden damage

One way to tell if foxes are particularly active on your property is noticing large holes in lawns, flowerbeds, or vegetable patches. Whilst other animals like moles and rabbits can do similar damage, bigger problems often mean fox activity.

Disturbed bins or rubbish

Foxes often scavenge for food, leaving a mess behind. Overturned bins, scattered rubbish, or torn bin bags are common signs of foxes looking for food.

Fox droppings and smells

Fox droppings have a strong, musky odour and are often found in prominent locations such as rocks, logs, tree stumps, and garden furniture. In urban areas, fox droppings frequently appear on footpaths, driveways, and garden edges, deposited as a way for foxes to communicate with one another. You may also find droppings on lawns, flower beds, or near sheds and fences. While foxes tend to defecate close to their dens, they avoid doing so inside them. In addition to leaving droppings, they can create a mess by rummaging through rubbish bins and disturbing gardens.

Noisy disruptions

Foxes are intelligent animals, and their presence can be hard to detect without visible signs.
However, they are vocal animals, especially during mating season. Loud screeches or barks at night are a common sign of their presence.

Types of Fox Problems

Urban foxes

In urban areas foxes often adapt to residential areas, causing issues with bins, gardens, and noise disturbances.

Rural foxes

In more rural parts, foxes can pose a serious threat to livestock, such as chickens or small pets, leading to stress and financial loss for farmers.
