Fox Pest Control Methods We Use in London

Our professional fox control service starts with an inspection of your property, garden and any areas showing signs of fox activity. A qualified fox control specialist assess the situation, identify potential entry points and recommend the most appropriate and humane solution

Depending on the source and severity of the problem, fox control may involve humane deterrence, targeted treatment and fox proofing to discourage foxes from returning.

Fox Deterrence in Gardens

We use professional fox deterrent treatments around areas where fox activity has been identified. These treatments are designed to make your garden less attractive to foxes and encourage them to relocate

Fox Proofing and Prevention

Simply deterring a fox may not be enough if it can continue to access your garden or property through the same route.

As part of our fox control service, fox exterminators identify potential access points around fences, gates, sheds, decking and other garden structures and recommend suitable fox-proofing measures.

Blocking suitable access points can help prevent foxes from returning and is particularly important where repeated visits or denning activity has been identified.

Dead Fox Removal and Disinfection

Found a dead fox in your garden, driveway, road, commercial premises or another part of your property? Our dead fox removal service can help with the safe collection and disposal of the carcass.

Signs You Have a Fox Problem in Your London Property

Regular sightings, garden damage, droppings, loud nighttime noises or a fox den can all indicate recurring fox activity that may require professional control or proofing.

Common Signs of Fox Activity

  • Foxes visiting your garden regularly – Frequent sightings, particularly at night, can indicate that a fox is using your garden as part of its territory or feeding route.
  • A fox den under decking or a shed – Holes, disturbed soil, smells or noises beneath decking, sheds and garden buildings may indicate an active den.
  • Digging in lawns and flower beds – Foxes often dig for food, creating holes and disturbed patches across lawns, borders and planting areas.
  • Fox droppings around your property – Repeated fouling on lawns, paths, patios or other areas can be a clear sign of regular fox activity.
  • Strong fox urine or musky odours – Persistent smells around fences, walls, sheds or garden structures may indicate territorial marking.
  • Ripped-open bins and scattered rubbish – Foxes can raid unsecured bins and food waste, leaving rubbish spread across gardens, driveways and communal areas.
  • Loud screaming or calling at night – Foxes can make distinctive loud vocalisations, particularly during breeding periods, which may become a recurring nighttime nuisance.
  • Damage around fences and garden structures – Digging beneath fences, sheds or decking can indicate that foxes are looking for shelter or creating an access route.

FAQ Fox Control London

How much does it cost to get rid of foxes in the UK?
The cost of fox removal can range from £100 to £300, depending on the method you choose. Spraying starts at £120 to get rid of foxes.
Is killing foxes illegal in the UK?
Foxes are not a protected species in England, but causing unnecessary suffering to a fox is illegal. Professional fox control must therefore use lawful methods that take animal welfare into account, while fox hunting with a pack of dogs is prohibited under the Hunting Act 2004.
Is it illegal to put poison down for foxes?
Yes, poisoning foxes is illegal and must not be used as a method of fox control. Poisoning or deliberately causing unnecessary suffering can breach animal-welfare legislation, so professional fox removal should rely on appropriate, humane control and prevention methods.
Are foxes considered pests in London?
Foxes can become a pest or nuisance when their activity causes recurring problems such as garden damage, fouling, noise, bin disturbance, denning or property damage. If foxes are repeatedly visiting your London property, professional fox control can identify the cause and recommend suitable deterrence or exclusion.
Will pest control get rid of foxes?
Professional fox control can reduce fox activity and help prevent foxes from returning to your property, but removing a single fox does not guarantee that another will not enter the same area. Effective fox management can combine deterrence, den management, access prevention and fox proofing.
How do I get rid of foxes from my garden?
Start by removing food sources and securing rubbish and bins, then check for potential access points and signs of denning. If foxes continue visiting your garden, a professional fox control inspection can identify their activity patterns and recommend appropriate deterrence or exclusion measures.
How can I stop foxes digging up my garden?
Foxes may dig lawns and flower beds while searching for food or establishing shelter. Fox deterrence and garden proofing can help reduce repeat digging by addressing access routes and making affected areas less attractive to foxes.
What should I do if there is a fox den under my decking?
Do not block or disturb an active fox den yourself, particularly if cubs could be present. A fox control specialist can inspect the den, establish whether it is occupied and advise on the safest approach before any exclusion or proofing work is carried out.
Can you remove foxes from under a shed?
Yes, a specialist can assess fox activity beneath sheds, decking and garden buildings and determine the appropriate solution. Where exclusion is suitable, access points can be secured once it is safe and appropriate to do so.
Can you remove a dead fox from my garden?
Yes, dead fox removal can be arranged when a fox carcass is found in a garden, driveway, communal area or other accessible location. The service can include safe collection and appropriate disposal, with cleaning and disinfection available where the area has been contaminated.
Can you remove a dead fox and disinfect the area?
Yes. Dead fox removal can be followed by cleaning and disinfection of the affected area where required, helping address bodily fluids, unpleasant odours and potential contamination after the carcass has been collected.
