    Hi, asking for a neighbor, she wants to poison a fox that's sniffing around a few of her lambs and has already killed one. Don't know anyone in the area with a gun. Whats the best way to leave out poison for it and the best poison to use? what kind of amounts would you need to use?

    Poisoning is illegal. Thread closed.

    Up to 14 pairs of the white-tailed eagled were known to have bred in the Connemara region up to 1838, but the population declined rapidly with the introduction of poisoning.

    Poisons to control foxes and crows have been banned since 2010, the NPWS says, but the illegal use of such substances remains an enormous threat to wildlife, it says.

    Birds of prey which consume carrion are very vulnerable, and the extensive range covered by the birds means that contaminated material could have been picked up anywhere.
