  • Watch Gates Wildlife Control humanely remove a family of foxes from underneath a front porch/deck.
    After going over the footage for an upcoming presentation I have, we decided to release some never seen before footage of our fox job from April 2019.
    To see the first video we made in 2019 click here: • Baby Fox Frenzy | Too ...
    To answer the most often asked question...we didn't forget a baby underneath. Mother animals will always return one last time to ensure they retrieved all of their young. Animals can't count like we can, which means they don't even know the number of babies they had in the first place! We appreciate the concern from everyone in the comments.
    Please give this video of thumbs up if you enjoyed it!
    We GET THEM OUT and KEEP THEM OUT.

    My grandfather rescued an injured fox, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the 1970s. It took to him, lived with him, and rode in his pickup truck, looking out the back window all the time. After it was healed it took off. Then months later SHE came back with her kits, just to show them to my grandfather. He pet them and played with them for a few hours on his front porch, and then she left with her babies, never to be seen again. She just wanted him to meet her family. She considered him a friend. He's passed away now but that story lives on.

      she is smart enough to pull off all dry leaves away because they create sound later on when she plans to help her kids out. Foxs are very cautious. Meanwhile shes doing this and triggering sounds, notice that she is ready for the run away at all time if she spots someone meanwhile shes doing this.

    For those asking, the reason why she digs is because she wants to mix her footprints with sand and avoid being tracked considering that someone previously found her nest. Also they are super smart at looking for traps etc. They learned that from their ancestors.

      No for me buddy. It takes a lot of time, study and strategy to build or find a den. Trap or not she'll get as much of her babies. What she did for a long time, scuppering and disturbing the ground was a sign of frustration. That she needs to immediately remember where her second best option for a den. She didn't had one. Considering the time she took. Because there are lots of things consider relocating. Competitors, predators and comfort. She thought that after labour she can only focus on finding food to produce milk. That wasn't the case anymore. Now, the real brilliance was how the animal instinct kicked in. She and her pups are made exposed in this side, not very welcoming indeed. Basic and simple...she went unto the other side. Just a guess.

    I had a family of nine foxes living under my summer house in Dulwich (south east London) - I found a female cub in the bushes, very young.... She stayed in the garden for years, she recognised my voice (and probably smell) and would come when I called her.... She would wait patiently at the back door every morning to be fed (she really liked ham and her favourite was prawn crackers which were a very rare treat!) and if I didn't appear quickly enough she would jump up and rattle the door handle..... She would bring her cubs to show me every spring for about five years.... There was also a very large, quite majestic looking male fox, clearly the 'daddy' - he wasn't aggressive but I always knew to keep my distance.... One day he appeared with the end of his tail hanging off, it was obviously painful and infected - I crushed some antibiotics into a jam sandwich over the course of a few days and the damaged end fell off, with the infection cleared.... He then would wait in the garden to be fed with the others.... Six months later, he appeared again with one eye missing and a very infected socket - again antibiotics in a jam sandwich and a week later he was as good as new - I named him Cyclops and he became very much a part of my fox family and lived for another seven years.....

    I lived in a place in the middle of London for a while and below my apartment was a small area of unused land. The foxes had moved in from the country and set up home in the unused land. The screeches of them mating was very fightening and sounded like Banshees wailing. It was always a great joy to stand on my terrace looking down below on to the unused land where the beautiful fox cubs could freely run about and play without any fear of humans bothering them, sometimes they would spot me from below and give a great curious quizical stare.
    On one occasion the young cubs were exploring a nearby garden and one of them got his head stuck in a narrow opening on an old Belfast Sink. The poor little cub couldnt free itself no matter how it tried and the mother was very perplexed by the situation looking around and in myndirection for help and a solution, I tried the neighbours but to no avail and then I phoned the RSPCA and explained the situation. Within 30 mins they sent someone round and freed the cub. I was very pleased with my little part in the rescue op. :-)

Based on your musical tastes, you are far too old to be acting this way. "The myth about human scent causing abandonment is also untrue for most other animals, including mammals. Baby animals that have been handled by biologists are usually reunited with their mothers, who do not appear bothered by the biologists’ scent on their young." www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=wildlifenews.view_article&articles_id=426 Add in that this fox was already used to humans a little bit seeing as she had no problem coming around while they were working. I have foxes in a rural area, and you are lucky to see one once or twice a year even though there is at least one den right behind my house.
      Also, those "morons," as you want to so childishly call them, did not just suddenly build that box for that moment. They used what they had that would not allow the cubs to get out. That short fall is nothing for them.

    Mom has obviously not seen a box before, she was well puzzled on how to get her babies out. Her instinct was to dig underneath like it was a fence, bless her. She finally managed to figure it out and took each quite roughly out one by one. Foxes can't count so she came back to check there weren't any more. I loved how she had to keep double checking to make sure she'd got them all. I liked how you just carried on making lots of noise even though she was fearful, not making it too easy for her and as close to reality as possible. Well done to everyone involved 👏 👍 may you have enough funds to rescue many more creatures.

For those of you who went as far to research information and share it in the comments, that is amazing.
    To answer the most often asked question: we did retrieve all of the babies from under the deck and triple checked to make sure we did not leave one behind. Mother animals will always return one last time to ensure they got all of their young. (We see this a lot with mother raccoons as well which you can see in some of our other youtube videos.) Animals can't count which means they would not have know the number of babies they had in the first place!
    We truly appreciate the concern from everyone in the comments but want to assure you that a baby was not left behind!

      In your next job will you please consider the recommendation from the UK Mammal Society that S7ilgar reported? below? "We recommend a smaller sided box in the future, close to where they were found. and not white or metal, or with a visible lid, as it looks like a trap , which may actually stop her from collecting the cubs at all if she assesses the situation as a big risk for her." I think the rescue would have been easier and safer for the terrified mom and pups if the box had been just placed on the ground rather than on a step.

    Very smart. Here’s what she did. She cleared all the leaves so there was soft dirt which is quiet to land on. She made all her preparations of clearing the leaves, knowing that she would be able to run for it if she was disturbed. Then, one by one she pulls her babies out on the soft dirt so no one would hear her getting the babies out of the box, because that would be the most vulnerable moment. Having prepared a quiet landing pad for the babies, she expertly pulls them out one by one - mission accomplished. Wow! What a super mom! And what a sly fox!

    The unceremonious way mama fox yanks them out of the box was hilarious! Reminded me of my own no-messin’ mama!

      Scoop and run, just like ambulance people…. Also after the last one she comes back twice. One to check the box and 2 to check under the porch. Notice her sniffing the porch, the stair back that has the chicken wire on it.

      Let's be real the box was kinda weird they could've put them in a basket were it could be easy for her to look into
