Common Australian Fox

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).
