Integrum's Fox Control Process
We offer a range of solutions to control foxes depending on the situation and the customers need.
- Trapping is a fantastic way to manage the fox population that is causing damage to your garden. Although this method results in the fox being dispatched and not relocated, we can guarantee that foxes are humanely dealt with and suffer no pain during the removal process.
- Spraying is the second option we have available to help deter foxes from your London garden. This method involves using a scent similar to fox urine, making new foxes think that another fox has already claimed the territory. This option is lengthy as the process needs to be maintained until the fox issue has gone completely. Unfortunately, once treatment has stopped, foxes may return to the area if they have not been deterred enough.
Identifying a Fox Control Problem
Cities and urban area homes surrounding London have seen more and more foxes venturing into gardens and causing problems in recent years. Foxes prefer to build dens in the shrubbery, under sheds and in generally quiet areas. If you’re unsure if you have a fox problem, you should look for traces of food and excrement near the potential den you have identified.
If you have noticed holes around your garden, there is also a chance you could have a mole infestation. However, if you’ve identified a fox problem in your London home, the first step is not to feed them under any circumstances. Feeding foxes will cause them to return and become bolder in their hunt for food; although they are normally frightened by humans, they’ve been known to bite if given the opportunity.
