Fox Control and Removal
Red and grey foxes are found throughout Pennsylvania. Smaller than a medium-sized dog, they possess a keen sense of smell, sight and hearing, making them an intelligent and agile predator. The red fox has a distinctive red-orange fur, a bushy, white-tipped tail and black legs. The grey fox has black and grey fur with tan under fur and a bushy tail with a black tip.
About Foxes
About FoxesFoxes usually live in dens with small family groups and are nocturnal animals, although is is not unusual to see them at dawn or dusk. They generally hunt live prey, such as rodents and other small animals, with their distinctive pouncing technique killing their prey quickly.
Their nature makes them for good rodent control for the neighboring human population, but it also puts cats and small domesticated animals at risk. In agricultural areas, foxes raiding the chicken coop are often heard of along with attacks on other small animals and birds. As omnivores they will also eat other foods from insects to fruit and berries.
They mate annually and have their litter in the spring. Foxes are wary of humans, yet have adapted well to living amongst the human population in cities and rural areas. They are not generally harmful to humans, but carry a range of diseases and can bite if cornered or harassed.
Fox Diseases
Foxes can carry fleas, ticks and parasites. They can also carry rabies, distemper and mange that are transferable to humans and domestic pets.
Professional Removal and Control of Foxes
Foxes can be removed from the premises by trapping. The law demands that foxes be euthanized in all cases to prevent rabies in humans and domestic animals. Please call Harrisburg PA based Nuisance Wildlife to safely remove them while protecting you, your pets and property.
