Foxes dramatically affect seabirds, especially on islands where birds evolved with few land predators. When foxes reach a nesting island, they quickly reduce breeding success and lower adult survival. Foxes also trigger ecosystem changes that spread far beyond the colony. That pressure is strongest for species that nest on the ground, in burrows, or in…

At its core, fox hunting has shifted from a practical response…
The red fox, or Vulpes vulpes, shapes ecosystems by changing prey numbers and competing with other predators. Red foxes adapt to everything from wild forests to city edges. Their impact varies, as a red fox may help control rodents in one place but put pressure on birds or vulnerable native species in another. A flexible…
Make your property less appealing and harder for foxes to enter. Remove food, seal off shelter, and use short-term deterrents only as backup when needed. Focus on prevention for a lasting fix. Foxes are more likely to leave and stay away when your yard offers no easy reward. When you figure out how to get…
Foxes often visit because your yard offers easy food, shelter, or a quiet place to travel through. To prevent foxes, make your property less appealing and add humane barriers and deterrents that match fox behavior. You can get rid of foxes around your home without harming them by removing attractants, reinforcing weak entry points, and…
Foxes have severely impacted Australian wildlife, especially since the red fox, or Vulpes vulpes, established itself across the continent. People introduced the European red fox, and it spread quickly through habitats where native animals had few defenses. Today, foxes drive losses among small and medium-sized species. Estimates suggest there are about 1.7 million foxes across…
