How can I get rid of foxes in my garden?

Fox control is often a very sensitive issue and needs to be handled with care. Urban fox control is a particularly tricky issue – many of the most effective methods of control (shooting and snaring) are simply not practicable in an urban setting. In many cases the best approach is environmental management rather than control (thinning out vegetation or erecting fox – proof fencing or electric fencing. Fox-proofing of shed bases and basements can also be carried out). Where control has to be carried out live trapping is often the only viable option although it can be time-consuming and the results may be relatively short-lived.
