European red foxes were first introduced to Australia for recreational hunting and are now common in urban areas such as Parramatta. Foxes are skilled hunters and are a significant threat to the survival of many native wildlife species including birds, lizards and small mammals. They are also responsible for killing domestic pets such as chickens and guinea pigs, and are known to carry a number of diseases and parasites that can be transmitted to dogs.
What is council doing about foxes?
Council participates in the annual Sydney-North Regional Fox Baiting Program. The aim of the project is to reduce the predation of native wildlife by foxes and uses 1080 'Foxoff Econobait' poison baits which are designed specifically for fox control. It is designed to reduce the risk of bait consumption by native animals and pets, with the baits being buried greater than 10cm underground (as studies show that native animals are generally not interested in or capable of eating buried bait). Cats are highly unlikely to dig up the baits and dogs are prohibited in subject reserves during the baiting program (signs are erected at entrances to reserves outlining baiting period dates).
What can you do about Foxes?
Never feed foxes or leave out food scraps
Make sure pet food is not left out for extended periods of time as it is an easy meal for foxes
Educate your family and friends about the impacts of foxes
Keep your pets out of bushland reserves, it keeps them safe and protects our native fauna
Report any fox sightings to Councils Natural Resources Team on 9806 5050 or submit a request
Fox sightings can also be reported at FeralScan which is a community website that allows you to map sightings of pest animals and record the problems they are causing in your local area. |
