It is illegal to poison foxes in the UK.

 

You must not place poison down in order to kill foxes.

 

Only approved methods may be used in the UK to Control Urban Foxes.

 

Whenever poisoning - accidental or deliberate - is suspected, you should seek professional advice
 
and report the incident to the Wildlife Investigation Scheme, which is concerned with any poisoning
 
by pesticides of wildlife, livestock or pets.
 
 
To report the incident, telephone: 0800 321 600, so that a Wildlife Officer can consider the facts,
 
conduct an investigation and possibly take enforcement action.
 
 
Only by understanding how poisoning occurs can incidents of this nature be prevented.
 
 
The DEFRA - funded Campaign Against Accidental or Illegal Poisoning (CAIP) promote good practice
 
amongst those legitimately using pesticides.
