Badgers are becoming more widespread in urban areas of the UK as they grow in number and their environments and habitats are being transformed. Badgers are legally safeguarded under the Protection of Badgers Act, which means it is a criminal offense to kill or injure badgers. You are also forbidden from disrupting their setts, which includes both removing them and stopping badgers from accessing them.
However, badgers are a common nuisance pest. They may cause damage to lawns or fencing as they forage for food. While it is against the law to utilise pesticides or other means to try to eradicate badgers from your garden, there are a few legal and humane choices to discourage badgers. The least difficult choice is just to attempt to remove their food source, which will ordinarily mean they don’t bother visiting your garden. If they’re overturning and eating from bins, simply shut them firmly with elastic cord. Additional deterrent solutions include motion triggered ultrasonic sound devices.
If you have a severe badger problem in your garden, professional pest control companies will offer you advice on the probable method of entry that the badger is using. They can in addition install safe and legal deterrents to help control the badgers. The Badger Trust should also be contacted as they run local organisations that could have specific guidance about badgers locally.
