Red Fox ( Vulpes Vulpes)
Fox Control
Some people might find them cute and charming, but most people
recognize the problems with foxes. They are pest of the highest
order, and they can be difficult to get rid of. Digging in flower
beds, stealing your prize fruits and vegetables, and tearing up
yards; fox damage is a serous problem. Manchester urban fox control
has the solutions that you need for your unwanted guests.
The Problems with Foxes
Foxes carry diseases, and they won’t think twice about sharing them
with you or your beloved pet dogs.
• Toxocariasis - Contagious to humans, this
parasitic roundworm leaves eggs with sticky shells that can remain
contagious for up to four years. Young children who play with their
toys in the garden are at the highest risk for ingesting these
eggs. Symptoms include upset stomach, sore throat, headache,
listlessness and possibly even blindness.
• Weil’s disease – Leptospirosis is potentially
fatal and can be passed to domesticated animals and humans through
the urine.
• Hydatid Disease – Another form of tapeworm,
cysts or tumours can form in the liver, lungs, bones, and brain.
Drinking water can become contaminated through infected drinking
water. Even petting the fox, or petting a pet dog that came in
contact with the fox, can result in the transmission of the eggs
and the disease.
• Sarcoptic Mange – Mites found on foxes cause
this contagious skin condition. It can be passed from foxes to
domestic animals and people.
Foxes are also known to kill small domestic animals. Your child’s
pet rabbit won’t be safe if there’s a fox about, and neither will
that litter of kittens.
The other issue is the fox damage that you will have to deal with
and clean up. Residents of Manchester, Warrington, Cheshire and
Liverpool know that foxes like to help themselves to refuse sacks,
leaving an incredible mess behind. They leave their infected feces
in gardens, steal food that was meant for songbirds, and will
scream and bark throughout the night. Fortunately, there are fox
solutions that will help you keep these animals away from your
home.
Fox repellents
Effective fox control treatments make your property less attractive
to wandering foxes. Foxes are as intelligent as they are
bothersome, and they will quickly find ways around many repellents.
It’s important to choose systems that will work in both the short
term and the long term.
• Sonic fox repellents actually emit a sonic boom when any animal
wanders into the covered areas. In addition to driving away foxes,
they will also prevent cats and dogs from coming to visit. While
they are highly effective, they are not the best idea if you have
pets of your own.
• Our repellent sprays are ideal for protecting certain areas. They
can safely be used to treat your garden and will help keep the
foxes, and other critters, out. Sprays include Scoot, and Get Off
My Garden. Another option is the Wash and Get Off spray that is
excellent for cleaning up fox fouling and protecting the
area.
Fox deterrents
Repellents require that a fox actually enter your yard to be
effective, but deterrents drive them away before they can get too
close.
* Scarecrow – A traditional scarecrow only look frightening, but
the ScareCrow deterrent for foxes actually delivers a sprits of
water. When foxes are detected, they are sprayed with water. No fox
wants to be around the sudden noise, or the sudden soaking.
Fox proofing
Sometimes the best fox solutions involve taking simple steps to
protect your house. There are easy ways to keep the foxes out, and
they will even help make your garden more attractive.
• Keep the rubbage cleaned up and contained. Choose bins with lids
that can be kept firmly closed, or consider buying bins with
locking lids.
• Take the time to block off any holes around a shed or house with
sturdy materials. Before permanently blocking off the holes, be
sure to lightly fill them and wait a few days to be sure you are
not caging an animal in under your home.
• Fence tops that have flat surfaces are attractive additions to
your garden, but they also provide foxes with a handy walkway.
Prickle and brickle strips are available to make these surfaces
painful to walk on, and more effective at keeping critters
out.
Fouling clearance
Fox feces carries diseases, but clearing it away can help keep your
family and pets safe. A poop scoop and plastic bag should be used
to clean away the feces. The area should then be disinfected for
roundworm eggs. PX Parvo disinfectant is an excellent choice for
cleaning away fox foulings, keeping your garden safe and
enjoyable.
Urban fox control in Manchester, Warrington, Liverpool, and
Cheshire requires the clever use of fox control treatments. Fox
damage can easily be prevented with deterrents and repellents.
Protect your family, garden, and home from foxes, their damage, and
their diseases.
