Florida Law & Compliance
Foxes can be a rabies vector in Florida. We follow same-county relocation standards used for raccoons and skunks, and we escalate clearly sick animals to the proper authority. See FWC nuisance wildlife rules →
| Factor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Number of entry points | More access points mean more exclusion material and labor time |
| Attic/roof accessibility | Steep, multi-story, or tile roofs require extra safety equipment |
| Presence of young/litter | Family removal takes extra time and a humane handling approach |
| Extent of damage | Insulation replacement, wiring repair referrals, and sanitation add scope |
| Recurring or unresolved activity | Prior incomplete exclusion elsewhere may require more extensive sealing |
Fox Control FAQs
Is a fox in my yard during the day always a problem in Bithlo?
In Bithlo, a fox crossing the yard and leaving is normal. A den under the shed, daytime visits that repeat, or an animal that staggers or does not move off is the call. Foxes are a rabies vector species. The handling rule is the same family as raccoons: same-county release within 24 hours, or euthanasia.
Will you remove fox kits with the adult in Bithlo?
In Bithlo, yes. We plan the den, not one adult. Orphaned kits under a deck die in place and the smell is the next call. If the young cannot travel yet, we do not close the only exit.
How do I stop foxes from denning under my shed again in Bithlo?
In Bithlo, after the den is empty we bury galvanized hardware cloth at least 12 inches around the shed, the deck, or the porch, and we tie it to the structure. A skirt that stops at the soil line is a suggestion. They dig under it.
