In the UK, foxes are considered wildlife until they start to move into heavily populated areas. Foxes are versatile animals that can live in both the countryside and move into urban areas when needed. As omnivores, they eat almost anything, including birds, worms, small mammals, insects, fruit and vegetables.
When they are away from people, foxes cause little to no disturbance, but when they move into human areas in search of food, they can become a nuisance. Modern life has meant that their natural habitat is increasingly being encroached on by humans, leading to issues with foxes becoming more common.
Being home to both rural areas and bustling towns, Cheshire offers the perfect environment for foxes and plenty of food sources. Increasing urbanisation over recent years has led to fox populations being forced to live near humans, which can lead to disturbances and damage to your property.

We’ve provided fox control services to homes and businesses throughout Cheshire over the years, and we’re ready to help you deal with your fox problem.

Issues Caused By Foxes
Foxes might seem harmless, but they can cause serious problems for homes and businesses throughout Cheshire. These natural scavengers will eat almost anything, and while it might be annoying to have foxes going through your bins in search of food waste, they can also be dangerous.
Outside residential properties and in the urban environment, foxes can kill pets and livestock, such as chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs and even cats, which can be incredibly distressing. Foxes also carry parasites, such as ringworm, fleas and ticks.
While foxes aren’t considered a health risk, and you’re unlikely to catch diseases from them, they can disturb your sleep as they are mainly nocturnal and most active at night. They can also cause damage to your property, particularly your rubbish bins, leaving waste in the open, which can lead to bad smells and attract other vermin.
For businesses, foxes can cause reputational issues by leaving waste lying around and generally making your company appear unhygienic. They can kill livestock, damage equipment, and contaminate food stores, making them an expensive and inconvenient pest for companies across Cheshire.

Deal With Your Fox Problem Effectively With Pest In Peace
You might not think that foxes are an issue because they only breed once a year, and if you don’t notice them, then you might not consider them a pest. However, during mating season, foxes can be noisy, and if they’re near your property at this time, they can cause a disturbance. Also, despite only having one breeding season in January, local fox populations can increase rapidly if they find a food source.
Thankfully, Pest In Peace is here with expert fox pest control for homes and businesses across Cheshire. Our team use a combination of their expertise and humane deterrents to get rid of foxes for good. We try to discourage foxes wherever possible, and our fox control methods revolve around finding their food sources and restricting their access to them so they move on.
In many cases, foxes are hanging around because you have another pest problem that’s providing them with food. If you have rats, mice, wild rabbits or even birds, then they can cause foxes to spend time on your property. Pest In Peace can provide pest control services to get rid of these vermin. Once they find there are fewer good sources of food, they will look for others in different areas.
Our team will also block potential entry points to stop foxes from gaining access to your garden or home. With limited shelter and food, foxes will soon move away from the area in search of somewhere more hospitable. Using deterrents, we can ensure that foxes don’t endure unnecessary suffering and protect your property.
