Do You Have Foxes on Your Property? 丨Summit Wildlife Removal
Foxes are nocturnal scavengers that will hunt in the night. Sometimes it can be difficult to know that you have foxes on your property since they are nocturnal and sleep during the day.
What are Signs of Foxes?
The first sign of having foxes on your property in Newport News, Norfolk, Virginia Beach and other parts of Hampton Roads is seeing them. Foxes make very distinct noises and that is another way you can know they are on your property.
Damage Caused by Foxes
Foxes are not responsible for structural damages on properties, but they can damage yards and gardens in the process of making their den. Foxes can burrow under decks and sheds and even gardens. In comparison to groundhogs, fox dens are not as destructive. When they forage for their food, they might dig up grass in an effort to get grubs and mice or voles. Dens can smell quite unpleasant because foxes will bring their prey back to their den.
How Do We Get Rid of Foxes?
Fox Trapping
Foxes can be very difficult to trap or remove for several reasons. Trapping works well in some cases, but it is not a guaranteed resolution for your fox problem. Foxes can outsmart traps and avoid them. When we trap foxes, there are certain factors that go into the trapping procedure. First, the wildlife technician needs to pick an appropriately sized trap, next they will figure out the best place to put the trap. Once the trap is placed, it is important to hide the trap and bait it properly. At Summit Wildlife Removal, we check our live traps, re-bait them and remove any catches from the property.
Fox Exclusion
There are different types of fox exclusion services available that will help to discourage the fox from the property. One of the exclusion devices we use is called a wildlife barrier wall. Wildlife barrier walls offer long term solutions to prevent foxes and other wildlife from denning on property.
