Fox Removal
Understanding the Problem: Why Foxes Become Pests
While foxes are generally shy and avoid human interaction, they can quickly become problematic when they enter residential areas. Common reasons foxes approach homes include easy access to food, shelter, and water. Pet food left outside, accessible garbage bins, small pets, or even chickens can attract these clever animals.
Once foxes begin to feel comfortable near your home, you may encounter issues like:
- Holes dug in your yard or garden
- Noises at night from dens
- Threats to small pets or poultry
- Foul smells from urine marking
- Rabies or disease concerns
Foxes may look cute, but their presence can pose real dangers, especially if they begin to lose their natural fear of humans. That's why professional fox pest removal is essential to keeping your property safe.
Our Fox Removal Process
At Valor Pest Solutions, we offer thorough, effective fox removal tailored to each situation. Our process is designed to minimize stress for you and the animal involved. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Site Inspection
Our technicians begin with a full property inspection. We identify den sites, entry points, food sources, and signs of fox activity. This helps us determine the best strategy for fox removal while ensuring no other animals or pets are at risk.
2. Humane Trapping and Relocation
We use humane traps and baiting techniques to safely capture the fox without causing harm. Our goal is not extermination but relocation to a more suitable habitat away from residential areas. If multiple foxes are present, we adjust our trapping methods.
3. Prevention and Exclusion
After the foxes have been removed, we help you secure your property to prevent future visits. This may include fencing advice, sealing entry points, removing attractants, and using deterrents. Long-term protection is crucial in preventing foxes from coming back.
Do You Need Fox Extermination?
We often get asked about fox extermination. In most cases, extermination is neither necessary nor legal under Minnesota wildlife laws. Foxes are part of the ecosystem and even play a role in natural rodent control. Our goal is responsible relocation, not elimination. That said, if a fox is aggressive or poses a health risk, we will take appropriate action in compliance with local laws and best practices.
