Urban Fox Control London 8 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) I don't to rural fox control, but for the urban one's I find that:- Felix Cat Food and Sliced pig's liver alway's gives good results. The smeller the better. Raw chicken carcases and raw chicken breast meat turning green and smelling is a real appetizing hung up by string over the door release pedal works a treat.

cathunter 8 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 been told KFC Drum Stick. i used rabbit with fur and a chicken with feathers still on, Let us know how your trapping is going? best of luck. p.s. try and not go near or touch the trap to much as they'll smell you.ALB Link to post Share on other sites
griffo 28 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Rabbits or pheasant that is rotten and full of maggots seems to be what gets the foxes in the trap. Sometimes caught with a few bones and a manky hide where the rabbit carcus has rotted away. The only thing with fish baits and cat food is a higher number of cats caught, and it can effect the numbers of foxes caught. Link to post Share on other sites

simonrocco 175 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 hi there iv been trapping foxes for a few years now and iv had a good number to, i think that the key to catching them is to put plenty of bait out i put a rabbit or pheasent in the back one in the middle and one outside the trap doing this gives the fox confidence to enter the trap. once the bait from outside and middle of the trap has been taken it is only a matter of time before you've caught your fox. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
