Urban foxes have become an increasingly common problem across London and surrounding areas. They distress homeowners, cause property damage and pose health risks to both people and pets. Absolute Pest Control provides humane and effective fox control and removals in London, protecting families, pets and property with expert care.
Foxes may seem like harmless wildlife, but their behaviour can create significant issues in urban and suburban environments. One of the most common complaints is damage to gardens and outdoor spaces, including defecating on lawns, garden furniture, and children’s toys. This behaviour marks territory and is often accompanied by a foul smell that can make outdoor areas unpleasant and unhygienic.
More seriously, foxes are known carriers of parasites and diseases. These include roundworm (Toxocara Canis) larvae, which can cause blindness in children, and mange, a skin disease caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. Mange is highly contagious and can be passed on to domestic dogs and humans, causing scabies.
Foxes also scavenge through refuse sacks, leaving rubbish scattered, attracting other pests like rats. They may kill small pets, including rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, chickens, and occasionally attack cats.
At Absolute Pest Control, we specialise in humane fox control solutions across London, Kent, and surrounding areas like Maidstone. We offer:
