Professional Urban Fox Pest Control

JG Pest Control provides urban fox pest control treatment across your area. Family-run since 2010, our RSPH (BPCA) Level 2 Certified Techs have 15+ years of experience dealing with fox problems for homes and businesses.

Foxes can cause problems for people. Their habit of marking territories is met with distaste by some human neighbours, and for people who keep small pets such as rabbits or poultry they can be a real concern. As humans expand their living areas into the countryside, foxes expand their territory into cities and towns, knowing that humans are a good source of food.

Understanding Fox Behaviour

  • Foxes are natural scavengers and have taken the opportunity to live closer to humans
  • It is not advisable to put out food for them as this encourages closer habitation
  • Discarded food and inadequate rubbish disposal provide them with more than enough to eat
  • They are naturally timid creatures that try to avoid both adults and children

How to Deal with a Fox Problem

Feeding foxes may cause them to venture closer to human habitations and enter properties through cat-flaps or open garden doors. However, it is recognised that they are naturally timid creatures and try to avoid direct contact with people.

Foxes may carry toxocara canis, a parasitic roundworm that can be passed to humans, though this is a rare occurrence. There is no evidence of rabies in the fox population of the British Isles.

If foxes are being a genuine nuisance in your garden, you have several options at your disposal.
