Shrophunter 7 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 One of my molecatching clients asked me today if I know how to get rid of badgers. He's a keen bowler and his bowling green has started being visited by brock. I don't know much about badgers and wondered if anyone knows any legal ways of "discouraging" them ? Quote Link to post

danw 1,748 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Electric fence will stop it but it needs to be set low 2 strands 1 about 4" and then at 8" pretty much anything else will be a waste of time I set my fences round my release pens with 3 strands the third at 12 " and I don't get bother from brock or charlie Quote Link to post

Shrophunter 7 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions. The area is already fenced and they've dug under so perhaps electric fencing is the way to go. I'll pass it on. Quote Link to post
