Their strong fore legs and sharp claws are able to get them as deep as they need to go to reach their target. Once food is found, rarely will the badger leave until it gets dinner . This persistence leads to deep holes with a lot of dirt being displaced. If you have a badger active in your yard or feeding on some of your farm animals, you will need to trap it out. You have two types of traps which are very effective.
Live traps are one of the most common ways to catch a badger.
Our LT111230 is easy to set, large enough for the biggest badger and strong enough to keep it caught. Badgers will return nightly to turf which has provided a meal so as soon as you find a fresh digging or a pen which has been dug into, place the trap as close to the activity as you can. Place some just inside the trap and then some more outside on the ground. Badgers love chicken and won't be able to pass up a free meal. Expect to catch the culprit in a day or two.
