Badger activity from a badger sett located close to houses was causing a lot of problems, including structural damage to a patio due to sett tunnels which had been dug underneath.
As this was a serious risk to property and individual’s safety, a licence was obtained to carry out a partial sett closure and install badger-proof fencing.
This was carried out successfully by WildlifeCo, who monitored the badger activity during the work. A family of seven badgers were seen on camera and the WildlifeCo team ensured that the animals were not harmed and that all licensing protocols were met.
The gardens are now restored and protected and the badgers are still living in the sett.
