    Extent Of Damage Associated With Fox Infestation

    European red foxes are the most visible fox species across Australia as they are adaptable to urban environments, inner-city, areas, and deserts alike. The pest animal rests during the day and becomes active at night.

    The pest creates the following issues for our workplace and homes:

    • Foxes attack domesticated animals, including sheep and poultry, and impact the farming and poultry industries.
    • The pest also causes damage to horticultural crops and irrigation systems.
    • The aggressive species creates ecological imbalances, and it’s a major threat to the survival of several marsupial species in Australia.
    • The pest animal also poses serious threats to turtles, ground-nesting birds, and more.
    • Though foxes do not generally attack humans, studies show that the animal can spread Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV) to both humans and animals.
    The aggressive nature of foxes makes them a great threat to the livestock and farming industry.

    How To Confirm The Presence Of Foxes In Your Environment?

    Since foxes are mostly active at night, you may not see them directly to confirm the infestation. With the following signs, you can confirm the presence of foxes in your environment:
    • Do you see paw prints in your garden and backyard? You can inspect the space for the paw prints for a few days to confirm the uninvited guest.
    • Foxes have a habit of digging the ground. If you see any such unexplained holes in your backyard or garden, it could be due to the invasion of foxes.
    • Missing pets and livestock. The aggressive pest animal attacks small pets and livestock even when they have plenty of other food sources to feed.
    • If you see plant vegetables and fruits in your backyard missing and wondering why the produces are disappearing, it could be due to the pest animal.
    • Foxes tend to raid the garbage cans in search of food. If you see dispersed garbage from the cans, you can doubt the presence of the pest in your environment.
    If you see the signs of foxes at your property, contact Tom’s Pest Control immediately to make an inspection and carry out a tailored fox removal service.
