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.

The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route is a new 46 kilometre dual carriageway around the city of Aberdeen.

During its build, WildlifeCo were contracted as specialists to manage and oversee the closure of over 100 badger setts. These included 8 main setts.

All exclusions were completed successfully and all animals encountered during the sett destructions were safely caught and released locally. No badgers were encountered during this process.
