At Vergo Pest Management, we understand that while badgers are a legally protected species under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992, their activity can still pose serious challenges when setts (dens) are located close to buildings, infrastructure, or managed land. Whether you’re a homeowner or managing a commercial property, badger activity can lead to structural damage, landscaping issues, and potential safety risks.
All badger control work must be carried out under licence and within the permitted exclusion period (1 July to 30 November). Planning ahead is essential to ensure applications are approved in time and work can be completed legally.
For more information on timing and how the process works, read our guide: Badger Control in the UK: Preparing for the Exclusion Period.
Our badger control services are carefully designed to protect both wildlife and property. We manage the entire process, from initial site survey through to licence application and implementation – ensuring minimal disruption and complete compliance, without causing harm to badgers.
If you’re experiencing badger activity or want to prevent future issues, contact our team today to arrange a survey and discuss your options.
