Why Foxes Are a Problem in Atlanta
While foxes typically avoid humans, urban sprawl has led them to adapt to neighborhoods, parks, farms, and suburban backyards. Red foxes and gray foxes are both common in Georgia and can become a serious nuisance.
Common Fox Complaints:
- Killing or injuring chickens, ducks, rabbits, and small pets
- Digging dens near homes or under structures
- Spreading mange, fleas, and ticks
- Leaving scat, tracks, or food remains on property
- Causing fear among residents due to sightings or vocalizations
Our Fox Trapping Process
We use humane and effective trapping methods customized to each property. Fox trapping requires skill, subtlety, and knowledge of their behavior. Our approach includes:
- On-site inspection to identify den sites, trails, and food sources
- Use of live cage traps or properly set foot-hold traps in compliance with GA law
- Targeted use of attractants and professional lures
- Daily trap checks to ensure humane handling and legal compliance
- Removal and legal euthanasia or disposal per Georgia Department of Natural Resources guidelines
