The red fox is a small wild dog capable of hurting small pets like cats and small dogs. When you need fox removal, Columbus residents can turn to Affordable Wildlife Control. A fox will have a pointed muzzle, prominent ears and a long, bushy tail tipped in white. They appear yellowish-red from a distance. A closer look will reveal the white belly, throat, and inner ears. Other color phases occur, but they are not common. The long guard hairs making up their colorful pelt cause them to appear larger than they are. The average adult weighs from 8 to 14 pounds.
Distribution: Red foxes seldom use dens except for rearing young. A search for a nursery begins in December when the pair inspects burrows and previous fox dens. The den selected may be located in the open or in the woods. It is well-drained and usually has at least two entrances.
Reproduction: One litter is born each year in March or April, Litters may range from one to twelve. The average number of pups is five or six. Newborn foxes are blind until nine days old and are constantly attended to by their mother until several weeks old. The male delivers food to his family during this period of confinement. The pups first venture outside the den under the guidance of parents when they are a month old. The next two months are spent with parents learning to survive on their own. The family group disbands in late summer, living separately until December.
If a fox is around, your cat may be bait!
Critter Removal is AWESOME!! Would use them again in a heart beat! Reasonably priced, Great service both in office and technicians ( Way to Nate!) Just a great RELIABLE company. A++
We were dealing with a pretty bad squirrel problem. They were causing damage to my soffits and gutters getting into their nest in our attic. We had a previous company come out, insist it was a raccoon and simply put a cage in our bushes. Meanwhile the squirrels continued to do their damage, leaving their route into our attic crawl space wide open. About 4 weeks later and having to listen to constant scratching and chewing from these squirrels, he simply collected his empty cage without follow up, and having to pay upfront first ( 500 + dollars for a cage and a peanut butter smear) Luckily after an email asking to maybe do something more, they just sent a refund. So we were back to square one, I called critter control and they came out the next day. They installed a one way door in the hole they were using to access their nest. In and out in about 30 minutes. Payment wasn’t due until after the issue was handled. We saw immediate results. In less than a day our squirrel friends had moved on to a new home somewhere not in our attic. Friendly, fast, and professional. They may not be the least affordable option, but the results were fast and we were very happy
