Signs of a fox den

  • A den under a shed, a deck or a porch, often with more than one hole
  • Fox kits playing in the yard in spring
  • A strong, musky smell near the den
  • Trash torn open and food scraps carried off

Before we arrive

Until we get there

  • Keep cats and small dogs inside, most of all at night.
  • Do not feed the foxes or leave pet food out.
  • Do not block the den in spring. The kits may be inside.

What we do

How the job goes

1 · Find the den

We find where the foxes are living and whether there are kits.

2 · Trap them

We set traps near the den and check them.

3 · Close off the space

Once they are out we block the den and screen the space under the structure.

At the property

Price

What changes the price

Questions people ask

Questions about fox removal

Is a fox in the yard during the day a problem?

Not by itself. Foxes are out in daylight sometimes, most of all in spring when they are feeding young. Call if one is living under your shed or deck.

Will a fox go after my pets?

A fox can go after cats, small dogs and chickens. Keep them inside until the fox is gone.

What if the fox looks sick?

A fox that stumbles, walks in circles or has lost much of its fur may be sick. Keep away from it and call the Pennsylvania Game Commission at 1-833-742-9453.
