If you want to get rid of them the same way I have, and allot of the ranchers around me is to close all the holes around where the fresh digin is. If you can find the latest holes after all the ones you shoveled in, pipe your exzaust from your truck into some of them and you wont need to find a wildlife control expert to deal with your problem, badgers will stay in the hole for a long time after you leave . I dont recomend trapping any badger as they are extermly hard to have a killing catch i have learned from experiance. The badgers have a very short neck and even with proper trapp placement they catch a little too far back from the main artiry that supplys blood to the animals brain and they have to be dispatched. I have caught several Wolverine in my trapps in the mountains and have never had an animal alive when i checked my trapps due to good trapp setting, they say they are the toughfest I HOPE I never find out. I killed 12 badges last year on the ranch and some for the other ranchers around. We have never had badgers before last year i hope we never have any more but my dad said he seen some fresh diggin in the pasture this week and they have got the same quality of air the previous ones did
