Badgers are protected but can become a nuisance for both businesses and homeowners when they make their dens (called setts) too close to properties. This can result in damage to foundations, gardens, and landscaping. At PGH Pest Prevention, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between nature and human habitation. Our expert badger control services ensure the safe, humane, and effective removal of these creatures while complying with all relevant UK laws and guidelines.
Dangers caused / faced:
- Damage to building foundations: Badger setts can compromise the structural integrity of buildings, causing costly repairs.
- Destruction of gardens and landscaping: Badgers may dig up plants, lawns, and flower beds in search of insects, grubs, and earthworms.
- Disturbance to nearby wildlife: Badgers are predators and can be a threat to other local animals, disrupting the natural ecosystem.
- Badgers carry diseases such as Tuberculosis which can be a health threat to animals and people.

Frequently Asked Questions About Badger Control
Signs of a badger infestation may include the presence of setts (tunnels and chambers) near your property, large amounts of displaced soil or uprooted plants, damage to lawns or flower beds, and sightings of badgers at dawn or dusk.
Using repellents or poisons to deter badgers is not recommended, as it may harm the animals or the environment. Instead, rely on professional badger control services, like PGH Pest Prevention, to handle the situation safely and humanely.
To prevent badgers from returning to your property, implement the following measures:
- Maintain your garden: Regularly mow your lawn and remove fallen fruit or other food sources that may attract badgers.
- Install badger-proof fencing: Erect a sturdy fence with a minimum height of 1.2 meters and extend it at least 30 cm underground to prevent badgers from digging under it.
- Use lighting: Badgers are nocturnal creatures and are deterred by bright lights. Installing motion-activated lights around your property may help keep them at bay.
