I have found out that there is a legal liability if I go this route. I have to notify the government, remove the animal and if neighbors see a trap without a valid license, I can get fined.
I got two nice sized traps from Tractor Supply for $30. I would hate for them to go to waste.
I am thinking of the three S’s.
Id go the live trap method regardless. Foxes are very cool and useful animals, just maybe not in your back yard. Then if you end up in a similar situation in the future youll be all set to deal with it.
“see a trap”
That’s what night is for. Set up/pick up eve/morn.
Didn’t want to say anything but foxes are really cute too. Around here they don’t come anywhere near mankind.
