Foxes

About

The European red fox (Vulpes vulpes) was introduced to Australia in the 1850s for recreational hunting and has since become a significant pest across mainland Australia. 

Foxes prey on poultry, young livestock, and native wildlife, and are known carriers of diseases such as distemper, parvovirus, and mange.

They thrive in both rural and urban environments, making effective control measures a necessity. Coordinated efforts across multiple properties are more effective than isolated actions, with late winter to early spring being the optimal period for control, as foxes are breeding and their food demand is highest.
