Wildlife & Rodent Removal San Antonio Tip of the Month: Fox Exterminator
Foxes are one of the worst types of pests to have on your property. They are notorious for killing pets and will bury their prey close to the surface for future consumption. They are also carriers of multiple diseases. The best way to get rid of an unwanted wild animal on your property is invariably exclusion. If they are unable to get onto your property, you will not have to deal with them later. This is not always the easiest thing to do, especially if you have a relatively large property. There are a few ways to get rid of foxes if you find yourself cohabiting with one.



Extermination
· Shooting foxes are permitted in most states in the US. You will need to use a high caliber firearm to ensure the animal is killed and not just wounded. It is imperative that you check the laws in your state regarding discharging a firearm. They cannot be discharged in residential neighborhoods or close to highways. You are only allowed to kill a fox if it is endangering your personal safety. It is not permitted to shoot any fur-bearing animals for sport.
· Live trapping is one of the most effective ways of getting rid of unwanted animals on your property. You can choose to relocate the animal or kill it once it has been trapped. The most humane way to kill a trapped fox is to cover the cage with a blanket or bag and attach it to the tailpipe of a vehicle. The carbon monoxide will kill the animal without causing it to suffer.
· Kill traps can be set outside of the den where the fox is hiding. Once the animal exits the den the trap will slam closed. You can also set a snare trap in the vicinity of the den or areas that are frequented by the foxes. It is impossible to predict which animals will be caught in the trap, and this can lead to the capture of pets or other protected animals. Animals that are not killed instantly can also be left to suffer.
· Dens can be fumigated with toxic gas. Young foxes do not cover their tracks well, and it should be easy to find their dens. You can then insert a gas cylinder and close off all openings to the den.
· Poisoning is one of the most popular but most dangerous ways to kill wild animals. It is impossible to prevent other animals away from the poison and the poison will kill indiscriminately. Any scavengers that come across the carcass will also be exposed to the poison that has been used. This could have a negative effect on the surrounding ecosystem.

Better options
Your best option would be to contact a wildlife removal specialist. They can advise you on how to exclude foxes from your property. Noise machines and other scare tactics have not proven effective as foxes are intelligent and soon realize the perceived threat is not real.
