Fox Removal, Exclusion & Prevention — How Pricing Works.
Foxes are clever, curious, and territorial. They often make dens under sheds, decks, or woodpiles and may dig under fencing when seeking shelter or food. While most foxes avoid people, their presence near pets, livestock, or chicken coops can cause understandable concern. Because every property and situation is different, our pricing depends on access, den location, and level of structural reinforcement needed, not the animal itself. Below explains how we price fox removal and prevention — what affects cost, what’s included, and what most customers spend.

-
Standard inspection (within our service area): $75
What you get:
• Full exterior property inspection (perimeter, den sites, sheds, fencing, coops, etc.)
• Identification of active dens or fox tracks, scat, and entry trails
• Photos or video documentation for your records
• A written plan outlining safe removal, deterrence, and long-term exclusion options
Why we start here:
Foxes are transient — they may stay only a few weeks, or they may den for an entire season. A professional inspection determines if they’re active, nesting, or simply passing through so you don’t waste money on unnecessary trapping.
-
Ballpark: $200–$450
If foxes are present but not raising young, the best first step is humane deterrence:
• Motion lighting or temporary deterrent devices
• Scent or noise repellents (used sparingly and strategically)
• Temporary blocking of access points with removable barriers
• Camera monitoring to confirm departure before sealing
Why this matters:
Foxes are intelligent and adaptable. When handled calmly, they usually move on within days without conflict — especially if the space is made less inviting.
-
Setup package: $325
Return visits: $85 per trip
Used only if deterrence fails or foxes have young under a structure:
• Up to 2 traps + 2 cellular cameras for live monitoring
• Daily or on-demand response when a capture occurs
• Verification that all foxes and pups are safely removed before closing den sites
Why cameras:
Real-time trap alerts allow quick action — preventing injury, minimizing stress, and improving safety for both animals and people.
-
Typical properties: $600–$1,800
Complex or large structures: $1,800–$3,500+
What it includes:
• Collapse and secure old den openings after verifying all animals are gone
• Installation of underground barriers or trench screens around decks or sheds
• Reinforcement of fencing and gate lines with welded wire mesh
• Photo documentation of all sealed or reinforced areas
Why people choose this:
Foxes are loyal to successful den sites and often return the next season. Proper exclusion removes the scent cues and physical access that attract them — making lethal control unnecessary.
-
• Deck or shed trench barrier — $20–$30 per linear foot installed
• Fence reinforcement / predator apron — $12–$20 per linear foot
• Soil backfill & den collapse — $150–$400
• Chicken coop reinforcement — $250–$800
• Trail camera monitoring setup — $150–$300
