Bromsgrove Badger Control

Badgers have become more common in cities of the UK as they increase in number and their environments and habitats are being altered. Badgers are lawfully safeguarded under the Protection of Badgers Act, which means it is an offense to kill or harm badgers. You are also prohibited from damaging their setts, which includes both demolishing them and stopping badgers from being able to access them.

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

Badgers are a common nuisance pest. They may cause damage to lawns or fencing as they forage for food. Although it is unlawful to utilise pesticides or other means to attempt to eliminate badgers from your garden, there are a few legal and humane alternatives to deter badgers. The simplest method is just to attempt to remove their food source, which will typically mean they don’t bother visiting your garden. If they’re overturning and eating from bins, simply close them safely with elastic cable. Alternative deterrent solutions include motion triggered ultrasonic sound systems.
