Foxes
The Red Fox is one of England’s most resilient and adaptable mammals, thriving equally within the open countryside and densely populated urban areas. While rural foxes navigate woodlands and agricultural fields, their urban counterparts have successfully capitalised on suburban gardens and human refuse.
This incredible adaptability frequently brings them into direct conflict with humans, as their natural scavenging and predatory behaviours often establish them as a challenging pest in both environments.
Our Commitment to Humane Dispatch
Our wildlife management practices prioritise welfare above all else:Instant and Dignified: We dispatch all foxes in a fast, dignified, and respectful manner.
Zero Suffering: We firmly believe that no animal should suffer.
Stress Reduction: Every operational decision we make is designed to do our utmost to reduce stress and anxiety for the animal.
Professional Standards: We strictly adhere to English wildlife legislation to ensure every dispatch is clean, swift, and completely humane.
Why Foxes Are Classified as Pests
Foxes cause significant damage in both urban and rural environments while spreading harmful pathogens to humans, pets, and livestock.
Agricultural and Structural Damage
Livestock Predation: They kill poultry, lambs, and small livestock, often engaging in surplus killing.
Property Damage: Foxes dig extensive dens under sheds, decks, and foundations, weakening structures.
Amenity Ruin: They dig up lawns, golf courses, and gardens searching for food.
Pet Risks: They regularly prey on small domestic pets like rabbits and guinea pigs.
Pathogens and Parasites
Rabies: A fatal viral neurological disease transmitted through bites.
Sarcoptic Mange: A highly contagious skin mite that spreads easily to domestic dogs.
Tapeworms & Roundworms: Parasites shed in faeces that can cause organ damage or blindness in humans.
Leptospirosis: A bacterial infection spread via urine that causes kidney failure.
Fleas & Ticks: Ectoparasites carried into gardens that can transmit Lyme disease.
