Fox population – damage / impact
- Fox populations can cause massive damage to Australians native mammals and native bird species, farmed animals like chickens and ducks.
Control methods
Shooting
- Regular shooting can help maintain fox numbers to low levels, so that their impacts are minimal.
- Shooting is an easy and effective way to remove foxes.
Trapping methods
- Trapping options are also available but not entirely effective with foxes timid nature unless food is scarce.
Poisoning methods
- Poisoning of foxes is also an effective method of control and can be arranged (approvals required).
