save time with the bucket nonsence and just piss on the fence
Yeap, did this when I couldn't be arsed to go to the shed. 
Logic is, piss on the fence and the badger goes around that bit. Save it all up and douse the whole boundary, badger turns and goes elsewhere.Interesting to hear it if works for anyone else.

I would consider it a privilege to have them in my garden!
Then you obviously haven't had to deal with them before .Get some peanuts and a torch and let you kid watch wild badgers in your garden in the evening, awesome.
We had to apply to the Courts to have our badgers evicted, they can be very destructive in the wrong place, certainly wouldn't fancy them in the back garden.
When they first moved in decades ago we had to keep quiet as badgers were so rare at the time, not wanting visits from "undesirables".
Nowadays there are badgers everywhere and its rare to drive at night without seeing at least one, how times change.

I've never seen a live one. You must live somewhere rural?When they first moved in decades ago we had to keep quiet as badgers were so rare at the time, not wanting visits from "undesirables".

This possibly worked on some cats down under, maybe worth a try?

Serious reply.
In a cottage I used to rent, we had badgers all over the place trying to eat any veg I grew. Then a farming relative told me that badgers struggle to see beyond a few feet, so if you block their usual path they will find somewhere else to wander instead.
One plastic bin shoved sideways into a gap in a hedge later, and my badger problem was solved. No chemicals, no harming of badgers and precisely zero pissing on my lawn.

Good timing on this thread, I was going to ask the same question as the little buggers are scraping up bits of my lawn...although yet to find any badger poo. However we've got about 1/2 acre, with post and rail the whole way round and backing onto fields. I can't block off entrances, and although using my current appropriately named garden leave to sit in the garden from 0900 drinking a firkin of ale a day to produce the quantities of urine required here, I'm not sure that plan is workable!
Any other ideas (apart from dust of the .22)?
Thanks

You need to eat asparagus too, loads of it. Any other ideas (apart from dust of the .22)?
