Fox Under the Shed in Edison, NJ

The customer in Edison, NJ, had a situation with a fox harboring underneath her shed in the backyard. Afraid for her pet's safety, she called Little Rascals for help and we were sent out. The first thing we did was install a positive set over the fox's burrow underneath the shed and then installed Dig Defense® around the entire perimeter of the shed. A positive set is comprised of a nose cone that is attached to a two-gaited, heavy-duty device. The nose cone will safely guide the fox into the device. It's called a positive set because we are positive that the fox will enter our device.

Dig Defense® is a below-ground fence system that is 15 inches deep, 4 feet across, and protects structures against all nuisance wildlife. The front of the shed was on a concrete slab, and we were unable to install Dig Defense® around that area. Instead, we installed Pest-Blok across the entire front length of the shed. Pest-Blok doesn't restrict the airflow, undergoes a silicone-protected polyester coating process that makes it last longer, and guards the shed against foxes, raccoons, squirrels, and other nuisance wildlife.

After a short period of time, we successfully retrieved the fox! We then relocated it to a humane environment, filled in the fox's burrow, and installed another portion of Dig Defense® over that opening.
