    Default Badger problem - Need to stopem!

    Well, badgers have tajen to diggin up my lawn, they have always used my garden as a run but never seemed to stop for take out.

    Now they do.

    I need something to stop them diggin up my garden as they have ruined it fast! i could block the run but what i have read they will pretty much destroy any blockages in their way.

    Read about something called 'Renardine' which now banned in UK

    anyone got experience in this?

    Do you have a dog or cat? Having a resident beast often but not always helps this sort of problem - not that I'd advocate getting a dog or cat just to try and solve the problem.

    You could try the big cat (lion/tiger) shit that you can spread around the garden.

    Are they digging under your boundary, or do you have no fence/wall?

    have 2 moggys, this all started when we were away on holds for 2 weeks and cats were in cattery. Now its not stopping.

    They burrow under our fence at bottom of the garden and 'run' they used to run through our garden to god nows where. Blocking up the hole seems to piss em off and they smash away at another section of fence / ground untill they get through again.

    Bastards. Opened my front door the other night to see 3 badgers staring at me. Scared the shite out of me.

    hmm..
