Nuisance Fox Trapping
Nuisance Fox Problems
Just like coyotes, Fox in Michigan is from the canine family. They live in dens usually left open from other wild animals. Foxes are predators and prey on chickens, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, and other small animals. 2 types of fox in Michigan are usually spotted, the grey and red fox.
Like coyotes foxes have become urbanized and prey on homeowners small dogs and cats. If dog food is left out they will even eat that.
Fox Problem Solvers
Foxes are typically trapped in larger traps or footholds and relocated. Fox lures, urine, and baits are the best way to entice a fox into a trap. Once the fox is trapped, it can be relocated to another property.
How to Get Rid of Fox?
Fox calls we receive are often because the homeowner sees or hears Fox. Also dead carcasses such as rabbit bones, squirrel skeletons, or chicken feathers will often indicate a fox problem.
- Call a wildlife control professional. You can't go to your local hardware store and buy a trap for a fox. Fox removal is a professional job. It's not as easy as setting a live trap near the den.
- The most effective way to get rid of Fox is with a foothold trap. This is typically an underground trap, the fox step into. These types of traps take some skill and knowledge to set.
- Another effective way to remove foxes is through a live trap. This can be a difficult task as foxes can become trap shy to cage-style traps. Camouflaging the trap with sticks, grass, and mud is the best way to set up the traps. Using fox urine and a gland lure is the best method for baiting the trap. Foxes have a great sense of smell, so adding a scent killer to the trap is always necessary.
- Destroying the den: Once the fox is gone, you should always destroy the den so more coyotes or foxes don't move in. Backfilling or even dumping a mortar mix is a good way to fill in the hole.
How Much Does it Cost to Get Rid of Fox?
Fox trapping is the best and really the only method to get rid of them. Charging for foxes is a bit more expensive than trapping other pests like raccoons, squirrels, or skunks. We charge a set-up fee/inspection to come out to your home to survey the property and strategically set traps. Depending on the location of your home you may expect to pay an inspection fee of around $195. Typically for fox, we charge a per-animal cost. For other animals, we may charge a per-trip charge. per animal, the cost could be around $100 depending on the placement of the traps and the location of your property. Once the fox is trapped and removed we can also destroy the den or fill it in so no more foxes will join the den. For a free detailed quote click on the free price quote button.
