Fox Control Western Australia

---

Foxes are pests as labelled under the BAM Act of 2007 (Biosecurity and Agriculture Management). This means certain actions can be taken by landholders to control them. Three options are trapping, baiting and shooting, though all of these must follow the requirements in the Animal Welfare Act to be humane and comply with regulations. If you have problems with foxes causing issues on your land, you can bring in an expert to ensure they are dealt with effectively and legally. At Fox ‘n Feral we offer skilled and efficiently run ground shooting operations as one excellent solution.

What is happening

In Western Australia, foxes cause a great deal of damage not just to native animals like ground-nesting birds and numbats but also to livestock. In particular, lambs. If you are a landowner and you have a fox problem, you are legally required to report it, and manage it. At Fox ‘n Feral we are aware of the dangerous impact a fox population can have and we are ready to help you control it. While the fox is a declared pest under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act, it does not mean you can take of it your self. There are rules in place for good reason. We know what is required and have the correct paperwork, tools and capabilities. Contact us today to learn more.

Two decades of successful operations

While you might be focused on protecting your lambs during lambing season, foxes are a year-round problem. Using thermal-assisted programs, night vision and experience of over 20 years of operations, we can help. Our knowledge means we can locate den sites and consider where they travel, to best ensure success. While considering things like environmental factors and animal behaviour, we can ensure the impact on other species is small or none. Talk to us about your concerns and what you have observed and we can tailor an operation accordingly.

1. How much does professional pest control cost in Western Australia?

Pricing depends on property size, location, fox activity, and whether you require a one-off visit or an ongoing control program. Contact Toby for a tailored quote.

2. How do I know if foxes are killing my lambs?

Signs include missing lambs, bite marks around the throat or neck, fox tracks near lambing paddocks, and increased fox activity around dawn and dusk.

3. What is the best time of year for fox control?

Fox control is most effective before and during lambing season, although year-round management delivers the best long-term population reduction.

4. Can foxes become a problem even if I only see one or two?

Yes. A small number of foxes can cause significant losses to lambs, poultry, and native wildlife. Early intervention often prevents larger infestations.

5. How often should fox control be carried out?

Many properties benefit from regular visits during lambing season and scheduled follow-up programs throughout the year.
