Can I trap foxes?

[yello]

The first mole I trapped, I was so upset. They really are cartoon cute creatures. I tend to let them get on with it now, if it's only the lawn, but I sometimes get instructed to set a trap if they're damaging flower beds. Fortunately, we don't have a big problem with them.

Oh, and the birdies ate all our cherries (bar a handful), and I watched them do it. I preferred watching birds to eating cherries. I think I saw some variety of warbler too, such a slight little bird.

It's a giant snail that's eaten the plants.

Hmm, you sure!

You need to call in the A-Team.

If it's heavy duty firepower you're after these guys should fit the bill - @Drago and @young Ed

Two weeks ago I planted some lovely flowers with my daughter, it was you're standard "Quality Time With Child" and I felt quite happy having brightened up the gardens too.

Not long after I discovered a plant dug up. Then a flower pot emptied. Now, twice, a flowerbed tunnelled into.

I think it's foxes, and I want to kill them for their crimes.

Can I lay traps for foxes?

I'm interested in bear trap styles, or anything specifically suited to foxes but I don't mind losing a squirrel or two in the process of obtaining retribution.

No.

Did that coincide with eating Christmas dinner?

Ive got two cats and my garden is mayhem free (thanks to the two jack russels - now thats proper mayhem )

I agree about the russel's but you should try a Patterdale or two !! now that's not only mayhem but a bl**d bath aswell.

Here's an article.

Finally a reason to keep driving that everyone can agree upon!

The most effective method of fox control in urban areas is the motor vehicle. Almost 50 per cent of UK foxes are killed on the roads.

Oh man this bit is sweet!

Legally, there are only two methods that can be used to dispose of foxes:

1. Shooting
2. Cage trapping, in combination with the administering of a lethal injection.

I'll be the trapper my wife can be the Evil Nurse finishing them off...I can see it now
