The Animal Welfare Act 2006

How the Animal Welfare Act 2006 protects wildlife and why professional handling is essential.

It's important to remember that fox control in the UK is governed by strict animal welfare laws. Under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, it is illegal to cause unnecessary suffering to any wild animal — including foxes. This means that DIY trapping, poisoning, or attempting to harm a fox can result in criminal prosecution, heavy fines, and even imprisonment.

All fox control must be humane, legal, and carried out using approved methods by trained professionals. Contact the licensed experts who can assess the issue and provide a lawful, humane solution. Our fox pest control technicians operate across Maidstone, Kent and London in full compliance with UK wildlife legislation.

Signs of a Fox Infestation

How to recognise early indicators of fox activity on your property.

Strong, Musky Odour

Foxes leave a distinctive, pungent smell similar to very strong cat urine. Persistent odour around sheds, decks, or gardens suggests repeated visits or territory marking.

Fox Droppings

Typically dark, tapered at the ends, and often containing fur, bones, berries, or seeds. These are usually left in prominent spots such as lawns, paths, or raised surfaces.

Scratching, Digging, and Disturbed Ground

Foxes commonly dig small holes in lawns, flowerbeds, or bark chippings while searching for insects or creating food caches.

Torn Rubbish Bags or Scattered Waste

Foxes are opportunistic scavengers. If bin bags are routinely ripped open or food waste is spread across your garden, foxes are a likely culprit.

Noise at Night

Foxes can be very vocal — screaming, barking, and fighting sounds are often heard during mating season or territorial disputes.

Tracks, Trails, or Flattened Foliage

Repeated fox movements create narrow paths through gardens, especially under fences, hedges, or along the same access routes they use nightly.

Thermal Imaging Surveys

Pinpoint fox activity quickly, safely, and without disruption.

Thermal imaging fox pest control survey in Maidstone Kent

A thermal imaging survey uses advanced infrared technology to detect heat signatures emitted by animals, even in complete darkness. This allows our technicians to accurately locate foxes, dens, and movement routes without disturbing the area. The process is quick, completely non-invasive, and provides real-time results that traditional inspections often miss. By identifying exactly where and when fox activity occurs, we can create a targeted plan to resolve the issue safely and efficiently.

Whether you're hearing late-night activity, finding droppings, or noticing damage around your site, our fox thermal survey will give you the evidence you need to take the right action.
