Fox Removal in Phoenix Metropolitan Area, Arizona
Fox Removal Services
Foxes, while charming, can become troublesome if they decide to make your property their home. The Phoenix Metropolitan Area is home to 3 different species of Foxes: the Red Fox, Kit Fox, and Gray Fox. Foxes often establish den sites by digging under decks, porches, garages, and barns. They can also pose a threat to pets and small livestock. Additionally, foxes can carry diseases, including rabies, that are dangerous to people and pets. If you’re dealing with fox-related issues in the west, ecoPest Wildlife Management is here to help. Our professional fox removal services can safely and humanely remove the problem fox and prevent it from returning.
Signs You Have a Fox Problem
Foxes are extremely adaptable to urban and suburban areas. They will commonly invade trashcans and burrow under sheds. Foxes are nocturnal meaning they mostly come out at night. Simply seeing a Fox during the day is not a major cause of concern or a guarantee that the fox is rabid. However, if you have small pets that could be mistaken for prey or are concerned about foundational damage the first step is to schedule a thorough wildlife removal inspection with a NWCOA trained expert.
During the inspection, a trained eye looks out for tracks, droppings, unexplained holes, nearby food sources, and more. After assessing the property there are several humane ways to remove foxes from your property and prevent them from returning. Our expert team at ecoPest Wildlife Management is well-trained in carefully removing foxes. We employ effective, non-lethal techniques to ensure that foxes are safely and humanely captured.
Diseases Spread by Foxes | Symptoms of a Sick Fox
Rabies is one of the diseases most commonly associated with foxes. Infected foxes can spread rabies to people and pets through their bite. symptoms include headaches, fever, discomfort, nausea, and pain or itching at the site of the bite. If rabies transmission is suspected, seek immediate medical attention.
Tularemia is another disease spread by foxes. This disease is transmitted via direct skin contact and causes fevers, skin ulcers, and swelling. Both alive and dead foxes can carry tularemia.
Toxocariasis is spread by roundworms which commonly infect foxes. The worms lay eggs and are released in fox feces. People infected with the disease will experience difficulty chewing and swallowing, seizures, and extreme sensitivity. In severe cases, this condition may lead to blindness.
Mange is another disease commonly associated with foxes. The possibility of contracting mange from a fox is significantly low because it’s only spread through close contact. Mange causes a rash on humans that usually heals after a couple of weeks.
To minimize the transmission of the disease, people should never approach, handle, or touch a alive or dead fox. Contact ecoPest Wildlife Management today for safe and humane fox removal services in the West.
