Fox Extermination Kent: How Does It Work?

Foxes are highly adaptable creatures, thriving in diverse environments from urban landscapes to deserts and arctic regions. While many believe foxes belong in the countryside, this is a misconception. Urban areas are just another habitat for this resilient species, and relocating them is neither practical nor humane. Here’s why fox extermination in Kent is a crucial and carefully managed process.

Why Relocating Foxes Isn’t The Solution

Relocating foxes to the countryside might seem like a compassionate choice, but it often leads to dire consequences:

• Lack of Familiarity: A relocated fox is unlikely to find an unoccupied territory. The animal is at a high risk of injury or starvation without knowledge of the new area’s feeding sites or dangers.
• Inhumane Outcome: Releasing a fox into an unfamiliar area typically results in its early death. Under the Abandonment of Animals Act 1960, such actions may even constitute an offence.

Foxes in urban areas need humane management rather than relocation, and that’s where Absolute Pest Control steps in.

Our Fox Extermination Process

1. Trapping Programs: We strategically place traps in active areas. Our team inspected the tapes twice daily to ensure the captured animal’s welfare.
2. Culling Services: Culls are only carried out after a daytime survey by our team. Our trained marksman handles the process with permission from the local police. We prioritise humane practices to minimise suffering. Carcasses are disposed of following local authority regulations.
3. Fox-Proofing Solutions: We install one-way doors that allow foxes to leave an area without returning. This non-lethal method effectively deters foxes in some situations.
