Humane Fox Traps & Cages

Choosing the right fox trap

At Muttons, we provide effective pest control solutions, including fox traps. If you are facing a fox population issue on your property, the best way to remove the problem is with catch-and-release traps. We stock a wide range of fox traps to help you deal with the problem legally and humanely.

In the UK, it is legal to capture and release foxes, but you need to be aware of your responsibilities once you put down a trap. You will need to check the humane fox trap daily so that a captured fox isn’t left to suffer. If you decide you no longer want to use your traps, you should disassemble them and store them safely so they do not hurt or kill foxes or other wildlife.

Our fox cage traps are also suitable for dealing with feral cats. Feral cat populations can quickly get out of control if they are not captured and neutered. This is an effective and humane method to keep feral cats under control.

We provide fox cage traps in various sizes to suit your needs. If you’re unsure which size is appropriate for your situation, our experts are here to assist you in selecting the right trap for your property. As specialists in agricultural pest control, we’re committed to helping you find the best solutions.

What is the best trap for foxes?

Fox cage traps offer the best solution for humanely capturing a fox or feral cat and releasing it in a more appropriate area. The animals are not harmed when they are captured, and there is also a low risk to the person handling the cage.

What bait should I use to catch a fox?

Place a small amount of meat bait inside the cage trap to attract foxes. Options such as rabbit, lamb and chicken have been proven effective. The attractiveness and palatability of the bait may vary depending on the season and location, so you may need to adjust your bait choice accordingly.
