Nuisance Fox Trapping
Nuisance Fox Problems
Just like coyotes, Fox in Michigan are from the canine family. They live in dens usually left open from other wild animals. Fox 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 fox have become urbanized and prey on home owners small dogs and cats. If dog food is left out they will even eat that.
Fox Problem Solvers
Fox 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 are trapped, they can be relocated to another property.
How to Get Rid of Fox?
Fox calls we receive are often because the home owner sees or hear 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 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 fox is through a live trap. This can be a difficult task as fox 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. Fox have a great sense of smell, so adding a scent killer to the trap them is always necessary.
- Destroying the den: Once the fox are gone, you should always destroy the den so more coyotes or fox don't move in. Back filling or even dumping a mortar mix is a good way to fill in the hole.
