Is wildlife activity creating risks for your property or operations?

Wildlife is a beautiful and essential part of rural countryside and urban landscapes across the UK, but numerous species, can cause significant health and safety risks and damage when they come into contact with human habitats.

All manner of wildlife such as foxes, deer, rabbits, moles and even feral cats can be a threat to your home or business, but many species are protected under various laws in the UK, such as the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, the Wild Mammals Protection Act 1996 and the Animal Welfare Act 2006. It is therefore vital to use a professional wildlife pest control that ensures these issues are handled effectively, humanely, and in full compliance with UK legislation.

Let us help you avoid the risks of wildlife:

Property Damage

Burrowing, chewing and excrement damage to building structures, fixtures and equipment.

Legal compliance

Strict wildlife protection laws mean you are safer using experienced and knowledgeable pest controllers.

Financial penalties

Non-compliance with wildlife laws can lead to heavy fines and even imprisonment.

Contamination

Pests can contaminate food, surfaces and water leading to significant health risks and financial loss

Diseases

Wildlife can pass a variety of diseases to humans, pets and livestock through urine, saliva, ticks, Sarcoptic mites (often seen in foxes) and faeces.

Safety risks

Wildlife such as deer, squirrels and foxes can cause safety risks to people on your property or in the vicinity.

We’ll help you keep wildlife under control

Resolve wildlife problems quickly, legally, and responsibly

We understand the stress, damage, health risks and legal problems wildlife can cause when it encroaches on your home and business.

With over 45 years’ experience in wildlife pest control, working with both domestic and commercial clients across the UK, our fully licenced wildlife controllers combine deep understanding of animal behaviour with full knowledge of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, the Wild Mammals Protection Act 1996, and all other relevant legislation.

This means every action we take is effective, humane, and legally compliant. Control does not always mean lethal measures – proofing, habitat modification, and relocation are always considered first keeping so wildlife can flourish in their natural environment whilst contributing to balanced eco-systems. Where more direct control is required, wildlife removal is carried out to the highest welfare standards.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about wildlife pest management

What laws protect wildlife in the UK?

Multiple wildlife protection laws affect how wildlife can be controlled, including:

Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981
Wild Mammals Protection Act 1996
Animal Welfare Act 2006

These mean specific species may have legal protections, and only trained professionals should carry out control work that might affect them.

Do I need a professional for wildlife control?

Yes, especially in the UK where many wild species are protected under laws such as the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, Wild Mammals Protection Act 1996, and the Animal Welfare Act 2006. Professional wildlife management ensures legal compliance, effective problem resolution, and minimised risk to both people and animals.

Are your wildlife removal methods humane?

Absolutely. At Nurture Pest Control, humane wildlife removal is central to our approach. We start with the least invasive methods such as proofing, deterrents, and habitat modification. Only where legally necessary and effective do we use licensed control measures, always prioritising animal welfare and environmental sustainability.
