What Size Hole Can a Badger Get Through

Badgers are excellent diggers. A badger hole can be two to nine feet deep and often measure one or two feet in diameter.

Can badgers squeeze through small holes?

Badgers are strong and persistent animals that can easily break through or dig under a weak or poorly constructed fence. They can climb well, and will squeeze through quite small gaps.

What smells do badgers hate?

Citronella Oil – badgers really dislike the smell of citronella. Applying it to the bottom of fences and around entrances may be enough to keep them away (unless they are particularly hungry).
