Think Foxes and Badgers

  EVERY year without any delay we have the "There's a problem fox under my shed/decking I need to get moved out" at the first fine weather.

MO you cannot remove a fox from an active den especially during cub season until dispersal (June/July when the den is vacated and you can block it AFTER 100% ensuring no foxes or cubs are in it.
There are also the complaints of badgers underneath sheds or greenhouses and decking that "are a nuisance". Well, if you could not be bothered doing something before the badger moved into its new set tough.
You CANNOT by law tamper or attempt to block a badger sett as they are a protected species -whether you are a council tenant, private owner or local authority: badger setts are untouchable.
