MINK CONTROL / MINK TRAPPING
HERTFORDSHIRE & BEDFORDSHIRE
Mink Control Hertfordshire – We provide mink control throughout Hertfordshire to rid you of mink infestations. Mink have had a large impact on our water vole population, having quite literally decimated them. Currently there are wildlife conservation groups that monitor and trap the mink throughout Hertfordshire’s rivers in an attempt to reduce the numbers of voles that are lost. Mink can become somewhat of a nuisance for people as well, especially those that keep fish, poultry and game for domestic or commercial purposes. Having a visit from a mink can be similar to having a visit from a fox in that it will kill more than what it needs to eat, killing in a frenzy. Common domestic pests such as birds, rabbits and guinea pigs can also be vulnerable.
If you require any advice or services for mink, give us a call today. We can provide a thorough survey and then a plan can be put in place to either trap or shoot humanely. Live cage traps are the preferred method, ideally being placed on a small raft away from land. This decreases the risk of trapping other animals besides the mink, however if this happens our practise of checking daily can enable us to release the non target species, unless it happens to be a grey squirrel as it is illegal to release them. Shooting is Carried out safely and humanely and a certificate of competence available for viewing as well as any relevant legal licence.
