Expert handling of red and gray fox conflicts in Louisville
Louisville Animal Control provides professional fox management services throughout Jefferson County, addressing conflicts with both red and gray foxes in urban and suburban environments. Our experienced wildlife specialists help residents and businesses manage fox-related challenges while ensuring humane treatment of these animals.
Both red and gray foxes have adapted well to Louisville's urban environment, particularly in areas with mixed vegetation and development. They often establish territories in residential neighborhoods near parks and wooded areas.
Foxes frequently den under decks, sheds, and other structures, particularly during breeding season (January-March). This can create conflicts with property owners and require professional management.
While foxes rarely pose a direct threat to larger pets, they may be attracted to areas with outdoor cats or small pets. We help property owners implement effective protection measures.
Thorough evaluation of fox activity, den locations, and property vulnerabilities.
Development of a humane fox management strategy tailored to your situation.
Professional installation of exclusion devices and prevention measures.
Monitoring of results and adjustment of management strategies as needed.
Foxes are generally shy and avoid human contact. They pose very little risk to people and will typically flee when encountered. However, professional management may be needed if they become habituated to human presence or establish dens near homes.
Do not attempt to remove or disturb the den, especially during breeding season. Contact us for professional assessment and safe, humane management options that consider both your needs and the welfare of the animals.
Foxes are primarily nocturnal but may be active during dawn and dusk. Activity increases during breeding season (January-March) and when raising young (April-June). Our management strategies account for these seasonal patterns.
