Wildlife Removal Photo Album: Fox Den Under the Deck in Spring Lake, NJ
Let's Be Positive
We're going to install Dig Defense® over the entire perimeter of the deck except for the main access point. Over that area we're going to install a positive set. A positive set is a device that's comprised of a nose cone that is attached to a two-gaited, heavy-duty device. The nose cone will guide the foxes safely into the heavy-duty device. Why the funny name? Because we are positive that the foxes will enter the device!
Exactly, What is Dig Defense®
Dig Defense® is a below-ground fence system that is 15 inches deep and 4 feet across. When foxes create burrows or dens (called "earths"), they dig tunnel systems that slope downward at an angle or ramp into the earth, usually descending gradually to a main nesting chamber about 3 to 6 feet deep. Dig Defense® is going to protect the deck and prevent all nuisance wildlife from harboring underneath the area.
Completed Set Up
We also installed a new lattice over the Dig Defense® to blend in with the aesthetic of the deck. Once we retrieve all the foxes - we will take them to a safer environment, fill in the burrow, and install another portion of Dig Defense® over the access point.
