Pests and Protected Species

BADGER EXCLUSIONS, GATES, AND FENCES

It is inevitable that at some point badgers will come into conflict with man.  This is when Urban Wildlife Solutions can supply a middle ground so both man and Badger can live side by side.

Working under strict guidelines, issued by Natural England, Urban Wildlife Solutions can supply and install Badger gates, fences and electric fences thus allowing a practical solution to be found.

We also offer a consultation service and will liaise with all necessary bodies to allow work to commence quickly allowing a speedy solution.

URBAN FOXES

It has been well documented that the urban fox is on the increase. Many towns and cities now hold vast numbers of this adaptable mammal. Problems with this species often arise and Urban Wildlife Solutions offers a range of remedies.

We do not relocate foxes, as we believe this to cause undue stress to the animal concerned.

FERAL PIGEONS

If ever a species was to take advantage of today’s throwaway society, then the feral pigeon has to be the number one contender.

Not only is their guano (poo) a major contributor to the acid erosion of buildings, it also carries a number of diseases and is a serious health hazard.  Urban Wildlife Solutions believe that the culling of pigeons is a short term treatment, and only major proofing works, to deny access and prevent roosting, can supply a long term solution.

FERAL CATS

Feral cat colonies are now quite rare, however problems sometimes occur. Their droppings and noise can be a real nuisance and cause for concern.

Although this sensitive subject can cause ill feeling Urban Wildlife Solutions can rely on trusted methods of control, from removal, to neuter and return, enabling a satisfactory conclusion.

GREY SQUIRREL

This American immigrant has now established itself within the UK, and poses a real threat to the native, and now increasingly rare, Red Squirrel.

It also causes damage in loft spaces or similar environments which can run into many thousands of pounds.

Urban Wildlife Solutions can eliminate and proof out squirrels giving complete peace of mind.

As it is illegal to release a grey squirrel, Urban Wildlife Solutions will dispose of them quickly and humanely.

CROP PROTECTION

RABBITS

Rabbits are without doubt the number one pest associated with crop damage and devastation of saplings in the UK today. Even the affects of myxomatosis have failed to stop this species from spreading.

Urban Wildlife Solutions have tried and trusted methods of dealing with this species to aid reduction in numbers.

WOOD PIGEONS

Wood pigeons can cause immeasurable damage to crops.  Their flocks can swell in the winter and number several hundreds. Urban Wildlife Solutions can reduce numbers quickly and effectively, saving clients’ both money and also valuable time.

POACHING PATROLS

Poaching, although seen as a minor crime, can in reality can cost thousands of pounds each year. Regular patrols, during daylight and night time hours, can dramatically reduce the chances of stock being taken and loss of revenue.

From signage to covert surveillance Urban Wildlife Solutions can offer a full and comprehensive service.

WILDLIFE RESCUE

Urban Wildlife Solutions offer a full wildlife rescue service.  From a small family pet to a large animal we will endeavour to rescue quickly with minimum stress.

In some circumstances it is inevitable that animals or birds will have to be culled humanely to prevent suffering.

FLY TIPPING INVESTIGATIONS

Fly tipping is a problem which is on the increase each year.  It not only affects wildlife but also the beauty of countryside. Urban Wildlife Solutions will endeavour to trace and compile all relevant paperwork enabling local authorities to secure a conviction.

ENDANGERED SPECIES

Urban Wildlife Solutions offers a wide range of endangered species nest boxes and “over winter homes” including boxes for birds, mammals and insects.  All are made from Forest Sustainable Timber and manufactured here in the UK

MINK

Thanks to the popularity of fur farms and consequently escapees, this American invader has now established itself within the UK environment.

The native water vole population has suffered a dramatic decline in recent years as Mink numbers have increased.  Fish species, amphibians and nesting birds are also favoured additions to their menu!

Our waterways, ponds and reservoirs serve as an ideal breeding habitat for this pest.

Urban Wildlife Solutions can clear Mink discreetly from any problem area.
