The first step to getting rid of nuisance foxes is the Verminators inspection of your property. We will locate the fox dens, holes, and travel patterns set up fox trapping right away. Once identified, fox live traps will temporarily be set on the outside of these holes to either trap the animal or give him one exit without re-entry.

Foxes are omnivores, hunting very small animals and scavenging in cities and towns where freely available pet food and garbage can make life easier. It’s not unusual for a fox to be seen out and about during the day. Foxes are afraid of people and will usually run away when they detect your presence, but they may visit your backyard or neighborhood. A fox cutting through your yard is probably just passing through on their way between hunting areas, and no action is necessary on your part. Usually, the best thing to do is leave foxes alone..
Dens under porches, decks or sheds are not uncommon in urban areas. If you find a fox family in an inconvenient spot, consider allowing them to stay until the young are old enough to begin accompanying their parents on foraging outings. At the end of winter they are nearly ready to say goodbye to the den site and move on for good.
It can be difficult to distinguish a track of a fox from the tracks of other canids (dogs). Size and foot-fall patterns are the most important demarcation. Trails of wild animals tend to be straight, while trails of domesticated animals tend to meaander and zigzag.
Foxes are crepusclar (active primarily during twillight). They also move about during the days, especially when it is dark and overcast. Foxes are active year round and foraging tends to increase with the birth of young in the spring. Gray foxes can climb trees.
Foxes are opportunist feeders that eat rabbits, mice, birds, eggs, insects, and fruits. Foxes usually kill animals that are smaller than rabbits, although raccoons, opossum, fawns, piglets, kids, lambs, and poultry sometimes killed and eaten. Foxes have a keen sense of hearing, vision, and smell that aid them in the detection of prey. Foxes stalk even the smallest prety with skill and patience, usually ending with a sudden pounce.
