UK polecat deaths are primarily caused by vehicle collisions, particularly during mating (Feb-Mar) and juvenile dispersal (Sep-Oct) seasons. Secondary rodenticide poisoning from eating contaminated rats is also a major threat, with a 2018 study showing 79% exposure. Despite this, populations are recovering from near-extinction.
