Paul Meek is a project officer with the Vertebrate Pest Research Unit in Coffs Harbour, NSW. In this video, Paul discusses and demonstrates proper trap maintenance and preparation for fox control in and around the NSW coastal woodlands.

Red foxes pose a threat to livestock, as they prey on poultry, lambs and kids. In high density areas they may also be a health risk to humans and pets, through transmission of diseases such as distemper, parvo virus and mange. Evidence suggests red foxes are a primary cause in the decline and extinction of many small and medium-sized rodent and marsupial species in Australia. They also prey on many bird species.
