Expert Wildlife Control Across Kent
Comprehensive Wildlife Control In Kent
Wildlife is a key part of nature, but many species need to be controlled to ensure their safety and that of the local habitat. Some of the wildlife we manage throughout Kent includes:
- Rabbits: Wild rabbits can damage property and cause a trip hazard with their burrows, damaging sports fields and farms. Fen Pest Control can safely remove rabbits and prevent their return.
- Deer: Deer can have a devastating effect on the natural regeneration of woodlands. They can also damage or kill planted nursery stock and young trees by eating them. Our team are qualified stalkers who can cull deer humanely for the benefit of the local habitat.
- Foxes: Foxes can cause disruption in both urban areas and rural locations. Whether it be in an inner city garden, a waste site, or a rural farmers field, Fen Pest Control has the ability and skill to carry out expert fox control.
- Moles: While moles spend most of their lives underground, they can cause a trip hazard and damage crops or plants. Mole control can get rid of moles and reduce the damage caused by these burrowing mammals.
- Squirrels: Invasive grey squirrels cause issues for native red squirrel populations and local flora and fauna. Fen Pest Control offers humane grey squirrel control to safely remove these non-native pests.
- Wild Boar: Kent and East Sussex have the largest free-roaming wild boar population in the UK, and these large wild mammals can cause significant destruction and be vicious if cornered. That’s why Fen Pest Control offers wild boar control to keep these large wild animals at bay.
- Feral Cats: To deal with feral cat populations, Fen Pest Control can trap cats and give them to local cat charities for rehoming.
All of our wildlife control services are in full compliance with relevant regulations, including the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and the Animal Welfare Act 2006. Call 01580754839 to find out more about our services.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Wildlife Species Are Common In Kent?
Kent is home to many wildlife species, as the county is renowned for its stately homes and country houses, many of which have kept wildlife at one time or another. Also, the expansive countryside can offer an ideal habitat for many native and non-native species, including fallow deer, roe deer, muntjac deer, rabbits, wild boar, grey squirrels and red foxes. Whatever wildlife problem you’re facing, Fen Pest Control offers legal, humane pest control services to get rid of wildlife and reduce the chances of their return.
What Are The Issues Caused By Wildlife?
While wildlife might look majestic in the wild, when they encroach on human territory they can cause issues such as property damage and disturbance. Also, wildlife can spread diseases, especially if dead animals are left on your grounds. For businesses such as hotels, private gardens, golf courses and other sports fields, wildlife can cause significant lasting damage to property and potential operational problems.
Can You Control Wildlife With Firearms In The UK?
It is possible to control some species of wildlife, such as rabbits, foxes and deer, using firearms in the UK, provided you have the appropriate licenses and permission from the property owner. At Fen Pest Control, we use firearms legally and safely to remove wildlife where appropriate. We’re also passionate about safe firearms use, and can provide training where required for using firearms and air rifles to control wildlife.
Are Feral Cats Wildlife?
Feral cats are not technically native wildlife in the UK, and are usually domestic pets that have escaped or been abandoned. As such, Fen Pest Control use humane traps to capture feral cats, and will then give the cats to the RSPCA, Cats Protection or other local cat charities in the Kent area.
What Is The Best Method Of Wildlife Control?
When it comes to wildlife control, the best approach is always to focus on prevention. That’s why Fen Pest Control aims to seal entry points to your land using fencing and other preventative measures. Where this doesn’t work, or the wildlife populations are significant, we can use humane methods to effectively reduce populations of nuisance wildlife.
