Default Urban Fox Control in North & East London

Pest - Go Limited are recognised in North & East London for professional urban fox control.

There is a great deal of public opinion with regards to fox control, though they are classed as a pest, can transmit disease and parasites / ecto-parasites and will kill small animals, pets and birds including chickens.

As firearms certificate and a great deal of experience is require in this specialist field of pest control, it is all that we do, ensuring that are clients get 100% of our time and expertise.

Most of our work is carried out in schools where foxes create a direct threat to the health and safety of pupils and staff by their constant fouling and introducing fleas into classrooms/corridors.

We are regularly called upon by keen gardeners, again who are fed up with the clearing of fouling , damaged lawns and shrubs, not to mentioned worried chicken keepers and pet owners.

It is illegal to release a fox once trapped under The Abandonment of Animals Act 1960, therefore; the only humane solution is to carry out a dispatch, and for this a firearm is required to ensure a safe, clean and humane dispatch is preformed. (Not an air rifle).

It would also be classed as an act of cruelty (Prevention against Cruelty against Animals Act 1986) to release an urban fox back into an unfamiliar area as it would most probably starve to death, be killed by other foxes or transmit disease on to other healthy wildlife. The RSPCA could take legal action against somebody 'dumping' an animal, regardless of whether it was a dog, cat or fox.

Another point is that endangered species birds could be put at risk as would farm livestock.

The use of non-approved chemicals used to repel foxes is illegal as is the use of Renardine now.
