Fox control
Fox pest control order
To improve the control of foxes, the NSW Government has introduced a pest control order for the European Red Fox which is applicable throughout NSW.
The pest control order will assist the coordination of successful community-wide fox control programs because it allows Local Lands Services to issue eradication orders to individual private landholders, thereby achieving improvements in community-wide fox control programs.

Because a small number of people presently keep foxes in captivity in NSW, a provision has been included in the pest control order to allow permits for foxes currently kept in captivity but prohibits the keeping of a newly acquired fox.
People currently keeping foxes in captivity can apply to their Local Land Services for a permit to keep the animal in captivity.
Control
Reducing the impact of the red fox relies on a mixture of control techniques comprising poison baiting, shooting, trapping, fencing and guard animals. All these techniques have a short term effect on local fox numbers. No single control method will be successful on its own and when foxes are removed from an area, reinvasion or immigration from existing untreated areas generally occurs within 2 to 6 weeks.
The most efficient way to reduce the impact of foxes is to conduct a strategic coordinated program over a number of land holdings. |
