Fox den In Your Garden. How Big of a Problem Are YOU?

 

(c)2024 The Fox Repellent Expert

After a vixen was stressed out and had to move her cubs from a garden where people could not possibly wait to remove a shed -it would devastate them- I need to make this clear again.  In some cases a cub may be left behind so any cub deaths are down to your ignorance and nothing else.

"Though no doubt you wouldn’t even consider doing anything inhumane, it still needs to be stated that you must not interfere with the den in any way, including blocking up the entrance with live foxes inside, poking sticks down the hole, or digging it up and filling it in. Doing this is wrong and is quite rightly illegal under the Animal Welfare Act 2006. You can only fill in and block up the den once you’re sure the den is empty."

Trapping a fox and "transporting it 30 miles so it does not come back" is so full of legal ramifications and problems doing that will make you a Grade A Moron. Move a fox away...another fox will move in.
