Expert Fox Control in Malvern, Worcestershire

Expert Carpet Fox Control Service Covering Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

Humane, Legal & Local Wildlife Management by a Family-Run Company

While foxes are a natural part of the British countryside, when they begin to frequent residential areas or commercial premises, they can cause significant disruption and damage. Whether it’s digging up lawns, raiding bins, threatening pets, or denning under buildings, fox activity near your property can quickly become a serious concern. At Malvern Pest Control, we provide discreet, effective, and legally compliant fox control across Malvern, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and Gloucestershire.

As a local, family-run pest control company, we understand the balance between protecting your property and treating wildlife responsibly. Our fox control services are always humane, ethical, and tailored to your specific situation.

Why Fox Control May Be Necessary

Urban and rural foxes are becoming increasingly bold, and certain behaviours can make their presence unsustainable:

• Digging & Lawn Damage: Foxes frequently dig for grubs or create dens under sheds, decking, and outbuildings.

• Noise & Disturbance: Foxes are most active at night, often barking, screeching, or fighting—particularly during mating season.

• Bin Raiding: Foxes rip open bin bags, leaving waste scattered across gardens and paths.

• Pet Threats: Foxes have been known to attack small animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, poultry, and occasionally even cats.

• Fouling & Odour: Fox droppings are pungent and unpleasant, often left on lawns, patios, or outside doors to mark territory.

• Health Concerns: Foxes can carry fleas, ticks, mange, and diseases such as toxoplasmosis.

If foxes are regularly visiting or living near your property, professional wildlife control is often the only long-term solution.

Signs of Fox Activity

Even if you don’t see foxes directly, they leave behind clear signs:

• Tracks & Trails: Worn paths through long grass or flowerbeds.

• Digging & Holes: Especially under sheds, fences, or in soft flowerbeds.

• Scattered Rubbish: From raided bins or compost heaps.

• Fox Droppings: Dark, twisted faeces with a strong smell—often in prominent places.

• Shed or Outbuilding Access: Evidence of animals getting under or inside.

• Sightings: Foxes seen at dawn, dusk, or during the night.

If you notice these signs, contact Malvern Pest Control for a free site assessment to determine the best course of action.

Our Responsible Fox Control Process

At Malvern Pest Control, we follow a strictly humane and legally compliant approach to fox control:

1. Free Site Survey

We assess your property to confirm fox activity, identify entry and denning points, and evaluate food sources or attractants. We'll also advise on potential health and safety issues.

2. Exclusion & Proofing

We identify how foxes are gaining access and use robust physical barriers to exclude them. This may include:

• Reinforcing or burying fencing

• Securing bins and compost heaps

• Blocking den entrances (once vacated)

3. Humane Deterrents & Repellents

Where appropriate, we use fox repellents and visual/audio deterrents to discourage foxes from returning to the site.

4. Live Trapping (if necessary)

In rare cases, where a fox is denning or causing persistent damage, we may use humane live traps in accordance with UK law. Captured foxes are handled responsibly and in line with DEFRA guidelines.

5. Ongoing Support & Prevention Advice

We provide long-term recommendations to keep foxes away, including habitat modification, routine maintenance, and deterrent options suitable for your property.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fox Control

Is it legal to remove foxes in the UK?
Yes—but strict laws apply. All control must be humane, and it is illegal to poison or relocate foxes. We follow all relevant legislation, including the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and the Animal Welfare Act 2006.

Will the foxes come back?
Not usually, if the site is properly secured and no food sources are left available. We offer detailed prevention advice during our visit.

Can I use repellents or DIY methods?
Some DIY repellents may work short-term, but without addressing den sites, entry points or food attractants, foxes usually return.

Can you remove foxes from under my shed?
Yes. We can assess the den, ensure no cubs are present (seasonally dependent), and install proofing once it is vacated.
