Badgers digging up the lawn.

Does any one know of a way to deter badgers from digging up the lawn?

Better fencing isn't an option.

I hope this is in the right section!

 

Wow you have badgers in your garden! How fantastic, though I appreciate digging up your lawn sounds a pain.

 

I asked a similar question the other day to protect our veg patch. Have been recommended leaving peanuts so they eat them instead of digging. (though this may attract them). Maybe you could put them outside your fence but that depends on wh:thmb:ether you have neighbours. Another tip was to sprinkle male urine around entry points of boundary. We're going to give it a try but haven't as yet. Bon Chance!

The only method I have heard - apart from huge brick walls - is the same as Sheelagh mentions. Invite a few chaps round, give them some beers and let them lose around the boundaries - this is supposed to be very effective.

 

my parents had this, they let them have one end of the lawn and fed them, very few holes following that. If you don't fancy that I think the security light suggestion works well!
