LuckOrJudgement 437 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Has anyone on here got any experience of this? Been asked to quote for one, but its a first for me. Interested in whats involved, apart from the obvious - JCB, explosives etc What else do I need to consider? All the correct licences will be obtained.

mole trapper 1,646 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Back when I did my level 2 a guy was on the course who specialises in exactly this. Fascinating to listen to what was involved, a badger removal and relocation and all the digger work and then burying in the steel sheeting started at 35k but usually a lot more money than that.

cragman 2,635 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 We did a small sett on work land. I didn’t do the paperwork side of things, a friend in the know did that. You’ll need a few badger gates to stop them re-entering. Once we were sure it was empty after monitoring, we ran concrete through it to support the steps and embankment they’d dug into. Seemed to have worked. It was a small sett so didn’t involve lots of animals Quote Link to post
dytkos 17,536 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Seem to remember the cost of putting badger tunnels under a motorway cost an enormous amount of money? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/wildlife/8363736/Revealed-the-multi-million-pound-secret-transport-network-for-animals.html&ved=2ahUKEwjJ46Gpo6XrAhV0oVwKHXsVDasQFjABegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw28Suxt6fn8zmq9MtiCHfOc Cheers, D.

LuckOrJudgement 437 Posted August 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 A can of worms, then. In my case this Sett is in a village on my doorstep, and on public land too. From a political pespective, it would be an unwise move to get involved. Better done by someone from out of town, I reckon. Quote Link to post
