Badger removal and control

Angry badger being extracted from burrow
Tucson, Arizona

Some call badgers "Nature's Backhoe," and rightfully so.
These small, but ferocious predators can turn landscape into an image that resembles the surface of the Moon.
While
badgers are not a common problem species in most of southern Arizona,
they do cause occasional damage to yards, golf courses and other
properties where prey species are abundant.
Mostly nomadic,
badgers will seek out areas with abundant prey species. Prey species in
our area include burrowing rodents, such as round-tailed ground
squirrels and pocket gophers. While actively hunting these rodents,
large "craters" and extensive burrow systems are often created.
As
is the case with most problem animals, the key to resolving nuisance
badger problems is to limit or eliminate the reason they are
present on your property. As mentioned above, the reason is generally
an abundant food source.
Desert
Wildlife Services can help you limit the prey species attractive to
badgers or physically trap and remove problem badgers.
To
have nuisance badgers managed or removed, please give us a call and
tell us about your specific situation. We are one of the few companies
in Arizona and Pima County still addressing badger problems and take great pride in
our work.
