 Foxes have become increasingly common in urban areas in the last few decades and can be found in all areas of the city. They feed on leftover food and take shelter in backyards and parks, often appearing at night to scavenge for food.
Foxes can cause considerable harm, damaging lawns and gardens and leaving rubbish trails and waste. They also carry disease organisms and fleas.
Experts have estimated the fox population in London alone as over 10,000 foxes and legislation makes it difficult to kill them, therefore other methods must be used to assist in their control. Foxes may be trapped and then removed but preventing foxes from visiting is the best method of getting rid of them.
This can easily be done by making sure that all rubbish sources are strongly sealed and secured to prevent foxes accessing them.
In cases where foxes are noticed, a professional pest control company is the best option to control them. |
