A customer of mine has a badger visit his garden most evenings.  Now the badger has started to excavate under his garden shed. What's the best way to deter him without causing harm?

[Marches Farmer]

Mothballs, perhaps?  And block the route in.

We had the same thing where I used to live. In the end the shed collapsed into the whole. We moved the shed and filled the while with concrete. That seemed to do the trick

Get him to pee there. Badgers don't like smell of male urine apparently. Whenever we get a badger issue I wee in a watering can for a few days and then sprinkle it about. I swear it works, tho some might dismiss as old wives tale I'm sure

[Fleecewife]

Don't boys have a special sprinkle it everywhere bit of their own, so can miss out the middle man/piddle can   

[devonlad]

you're dead right FW- but a watering can means that OH can join in the sprinkle fest

[devonlady]

Make lots of noise around the shed, especially in the evening. He will soon go elsewhere.
