Fox control

At Australian Environmental Vertebrate Pest Management Services (AEVPMS), we provide targeted, humane, and scientifically backed control of European red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) across New South Wales. Our integrated fox management services are designed to protect native wildlife, livestock, and ecosystems from one of Australia’s most damaging introduced predators.

Introduced to Australia in the 1800s, foxes have become a widespread pest responsible for:

• Predation of native species, including ground-nesting birds, reptiles, and small mammals

• Significant lamb losses on sheep properties

• Disease transmission, including hydatidosis and mange

• Impacts on biodiversity, contributing to multiple species’ decline and extinction

Foxes are highly adaptable and elusive, making them difficult to manage without expert support and the right tools.

AEVPMS takes an evidence-based, site-specific approach to fox control. We prepare a comprehensive Pest Management Plan (PMP) for each site that considers land use, terrain, and presence of non-target species.

Our licensed and experienced operators implement:

• Night-vision and thermal shooting, including suppressed firearms to minimise disruption

• Remote camera surveillance and GPS tracking to monitor movement patterns

• Coordinated baiting programs in compliance with NSW regulations (where approved)

• Den location and destruction methods in sensitive areas

• Integrated control with other pest species, such as feral cats and wild dogs

All activities are carried out under strict compliance with ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001, and pestSMART standards.

Our fox control programs are delivered across:

• Private rural properties and grazing land

• Conservation zones and wildlife corridors

• Crown land, national parks, and council reserves

• Agricultural and peri-urban fringe areas

We work closely with landowners, landcare groups, councils, and biosecurity authorities to ensure effective, long-term fox reduction.
