Andover Badger Control

Badgers have become more established in cities of the UK as they increase in number and their environments and habitats are being changed. Badgers are legally protected 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 means both removing them and preventing badgers from being able to access them.

What should I do if I have badgers in my garden?

Badgers continue to be a frequent nuisance pest. They may damage lawns or fencing as they forage for food. Although it is illegal to utilise pesticides or other means to try to eliminate badgers from your garden, there are a few lawful and humane alternatives to deter badgers. The least complicated method is just to attempt to remove their food source, which will usually mean they don’t bother going to your garden. If they’re overturning and eating from bins, simply close them firmly with elastic cable. Additional deterrent solutions include movement triggered ultrasonic sound systems.
