Get Badgers estimate today!
Badgers are becoming more prevalent in urban areas of the UK as they increase in number and their environments and habitats are being transformed. Badgers are lawfully protected under the Protection of Badgers Act, which means it is an offense to kill or injure badgers. You are also prohibited from disrupting their setts, which means both destroying them and preventing badgers from accessing them.
However, badgers remain a frequent nuisance pest. They can damage lawns or fencing as they forage for food. Although it is unlawful to use pesticides or other means to try to remove badgers from your back garden, there are several legal and humane solutions to prevent badgers. The easiest method is just to try to get rid of 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 cable. Alternative deterrent options include motion triggered ultrasonic noise systems.
If you have a serious badger problem in your garden, qualified pest control companies will offer you guidance on the probable method of access that the badger is using. They are able to also install safe and legal deterrents to help control the badgers. The Badger Trust should in addition be contacted as they run local organisations that may offer detailed advice about badgers locally.

London is the capital city of England and is still caught in the inspiration of the 2012 Olympic Games which graced the city. The multi-million pound project really helped to produce a number of new jobs across the city and saw a number of housing developments especially in the Stratford region. London remains to be the most popular visitor city in Britain with points of interest including Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Madame Tussauds and the Thames River. Homes are diverse as well, dating back to Tudor, Georgian and Victorians times.
