Get Badgers estimate today!
Badgers have become more widespread in urban areas of the UK as they grow in number and their environments and habitats are being transformed. Badgers are lawfully safeguarded under the Protection of Badgers Act, which means it is a criminal offense to kill or injure a badger. You are also prohibited from damaging their setts, which includes both destroying them and stopping badgers from accessing them.
However, badgers continue to be a frequent nuisance pest. They can damage lawns or fencing as they forage for food. While it is unlawful to utilise pesticides or other methods to try to eliminate badgers from your garden, there are several lawful and humane methods to prevent badgers. The least difficult solution is simply to attempt to get rid of their food source, which will ordinarily mean they don’t bother going to your garden. If they are overturning and eating from bins, simply close them firmly with elastic wire. Alternative deterrent options include movement triggered ultrasonic noise systems.
If you have a severe badger issue in your garden, qualified pest control companies can provide you guidance on the likely method of entry that the badger is using. They are able to also install safe and legal deterrents to help control the badgers. The Badger Trust should be contacted as they operate local organisations that could be able to offer detailed guidance about badgers locally.
