Fox control

Foxes are opportunistic feeders and will eat insects, worms, fruit and small mammals as well as scraps and rubbish left by people. Primarily active at dusk and during the night, they will often cause a mess foraging for food through bins. They are primarily solitary but have been known to create a pack. Vixens (female foxes) can birth 4-7 cubs at a time. Gestation is around 53 days and young are weaned at 7-9 weeks but unable to procreate until they reach a year.

We follow the following 4 steps:

• Inspection – In line with the CRRU guidance, ensuring a thorough survey is carried out is essential. This will be a full environmental assessment identifying: pest infestations, access points, sources of food, water & harbourage, proofing options, and any external factors which could result in pest infestations i.e overgrown vegetation.
• Exclusion – Proofing is carried out where possible by our technicians, any larger proofing jobs need will be identified and explained to the customer. Proofing is the best defence against fox ingress.
• Restriction – Restricting the sources of food, water and harbourage will make your home less appealing for pests and can be an effective way to prevent re-infestation.
• Communicate – Communication is perhaps one of the most important parts of the process as a whole. At every stage of this process, our technicians will be communicating their actions and importantly the reasons for their actions for you. Explaining the importance of exclusion and restriction will in the long term benefit you as you will reduce the risk of repeated infestations. It is very important that the recommendations the technicians provide are followed to support you in having a pest-free home.
