Red fox spotted near residential area – fox removal in Waterloo, IA by Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management

Why Control Foxes?

Foxes may look harmless from afar, but when they start showing up around your home, they can quickly become a serious problem.

These agile animals are known to dig under porches and sheds, threaten pets, and carry diseases.

If you’re noticing signs of fox activity, now is the time to take action before minor issues become major headaches.

1. Health and Safety Concerns

Foxes can carry rabies and parasites, creating health risks for your family and pets. Prompt removal is key to keeping your household safe.

2. Preventing Property Damage

Burrowing is a common behavior among foxes, which can lead to damage beneath decks, sheds, or even your foundation. Fox den removal helps prevent costly repairs and keeps your property structurally sound.

3. Protecting Pets and Livestock

Small pets and backyard animals like chickens are especially vulnerable to fox attacks. Removing the threat early protects your animals and gives you peace of mind.

HOW TO SPOT FOX ACTIVITY

Bats nesting in attic space

Foxes are skilled at staying hidden, but there are clear signs that can reveal their presence. Recognizing these indicators is crucial for effective pest fox control. Keep an eye out for these signs:

1. Distinctive Behaviors

Spotting foxes wandering around your yard at dawn or dusk or hearing rustling noises at night are primary indicators of their presence and activity nearby.

2. Signs of Damage

Check for burrows under decks, sheds, or along foundations. Fox dens can have a skunk-like odor and may cause structural damage if left unattended.

3. Tracks and Droppings

Fox tracks typically show four toes on the front paws and five on the back. You might also find droppings near dens or feeding areas. These signs can help you pinpoint where foxes are active and their regular paths.

MAIN ISSUES

  • Odor

  • Visible Den

  • Danger For Small Pets and Chickens

Squirrel Removal in Dunkerton, IA

Knowledgeable, careful, and insightful- I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole Spaulding from Bobcat Wildlife and Pest Management to learn more of what she does and to ask questions about their industry, fearing it affected my own (outdoor aquatic stock growth).

She took the time to share with me the ins-and-outs of her industry, genuinely caring for my concerns, resolving them completely in the end.

Within 24 hours of my “something stinks” panic call, one of the techs, Ronnie, was at our place taking care of the animals that found their final resting place in our vents… and patched it up so we wouldn’t have this happen again.
