The Problem: A homeowner in Hyde Park, Austin, contacted Prickly Pear Wildlife regarding a family of foxes, including kits, that had taken up residence under their back deck. The presence of the foxes, while initially charming, was causing concern due to their impact on local bird populations and interactions with household pets. The homeowner sought a humane resolution to encourage the fox family to relocate naturally and safely.

The Solution: Our certified wildlife technicians conducted a thorough assessment of the den site under the deck. Understanding the homeowner's desire for a humane approach that kept the fox family together, we implemented a strategic eviction plan. This involved applying specialized eviction fluid, formulated to mimic natural predator deterrents, around the den entrance. To ensure the family's safe and timely departure, two wildlife cameras were strategically placed to monitor their activity and confirm their successful relocation.

The Outcome: Thanks to Prickly Pear Wildlife's careful and humane approach, the fox family was successfully encouraged to vacate the premises and relocate to a more suitable natural habitat. The homeowner now enjoys peace of mind, knowing their property is free from wildlife concerns while respecting the welfare of the animals. Our monitoring confirmed the family moved on together, ensuring a positive outcome for all.
