Some of the potential problems badgers can cause include:
Structural Damage
Badger setts are complex and extensive, sometimes stretching hundreds of metres. When built under or near buildings, these tunnels can lead to subsidence, cracked walls, or uneven floors, posing a risk to property stability. Vergo’s team is trained to assess and manage such risks with expert care.
Garden Destruction
Badgers frequently dig up lawns, vegetable patches, and flower beds while searching for worms, beetles, and other invertebrates. Their foraging can quickly ruin well-maintained green spaces, an issue that professional removal services can address humanely and efficiently.
Disruption to Local Wildlife
As opportunistic feeders, badgers may disturb nesting birds, small mammals, and even hedgehogs. This behaviour can alter the balance of local biodiversity, especially in sensitive rural areas. Our team can recommend and implement preventative measures after exclusion.
Biosecurity Risks
Badgers can act as carriers of bovine tuberculosis (bTB), which is a serious concern for livestock owners. Their presence around farm buildings or grazing areas may require containment to prevent transmission.
Blocked Access and Pathways
Large setts can block footpaths, driveways, or access to sheds and outbuildings. In some cases, their tunnels cause sinkholes or collapsed ground, which may pose trip or injury hazards. Our professional removal approach ensures safety without compromising legal protections.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s essential to consult a professionals wildlife specialists rather than attempt to resolve the situation yourself. At Vergo Pest Management, we specialise in legally compliant, humane, and effective badger removal services to protect both your property and the animals involved.
