Frequently Asked Questions About Fox Pest Control
Are foxes protected by law?
Yes. Foxes are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. However, control is allowed under strict legal guidance. We only use methods that are humane, effective, and compliant with UK law.
Can you remove a fox from my garden?
We can assess the problem and advise on the best course of action. In some cases, deterrents and proofing may be sufficient. Removal is only considered if there’s a clear health or safety risk.
Is it safe to have foxes near children or pets?
Foxes generally avoid humans, but they can pose a risk to small pets and livestock. Their droppings can also carry parasites. We take each situation seriously and respond appropriately.
Do fox deterrents actually work?
Yes. In many cases, visual or scent-based deterrents, secure fencing, and habitat changes are enough to move foxes on. We’ll advise on what will work best for your property.
Do you offer fox control for farms or schools?
Yes. We regularly assist rural and commercial sites, including farms, schools, and animal enclosures. Our methods are discreet and compliant with all relevant regulations.
