Badger Exclusions & Set Closure and Construction of Artificial Setts

When a Protected Species Mitigation Licence is granted, badger exclusion and badger sett closure can be undertaken. 

How is Badger Exclusion & Sett Closure Undertaken

The way in which badger exclusion and sett closure are launched includes installing a badger-proof exclusion fence or one-way gates on the sett entrances and destroying the sett once it is certain to be empty.

Construction of Artificial Setts

Construction of artificial setts commonly use a mechanical digger to excavate the sett. Chambers are then created from concrete, breeze block or wood slabs, along with connecting tunnels constructed from concrete, clay or plastic pipes.
