What Baits do you use for trapping URBAN foxes?

[Urban Fox Control London 8]

What are your favourite baits for trapping urban foxes?

 

I use felix cat food, jam sandwiches, yesterday's fried chicken out of the bins of my customers and butchers scraps out of their bins.

 

I also use Feralmone attractant that smells of fermented egg. Lovely......

 

Alot of urban foxes are 'trap-shy', especially if they have been trapped before and released by other pest control companies which of course is illegal. (The Abandonment Act 1960).

A dead squirrel .Nice tough,grabbable bait that stays on the trigger hook well. I reckon the foxes get used to snatching casualties off the road -seem to work anyway.

If the trap is tucked up behind some bins ,a punctured plastic bag of chicken bits, rabbit heads and /or fast food tied to the trigger usually gets a reaction.

Not sure about urban, but used chicken wings to great effect in the country.

Don't be bloody daft.....Got to be a strawberry milkshake !

 

Cheap and stinky dog food on a treadle trap or chicken carcase if a hook type.

I've always had success with the rear end of rabbit, complete with tail, the older the better, normally around 2 weeks after thawing out, keep a few in the freezer, so I have a constant supply,

Thanks for the comments. I went to one of my 'halal' butchers today and raided their bin. Would you believe it....... chicken heads with the throats attached...... lovely.......

Get a bin bag full of day to day food and sling it in.
