can someone please give me a sensible answer as to how to get rid of Badgers coming in my garden and digging holes to poo into, and digging holes in the lawn to get their worms. I am so fed up with it. Is it true also that they carry TB?

I have 2 laterines in my garden, and they are used every night!

Ask your barber or hairdresser for some of the hair which they usually sweep up from the floor of their shop. Get as much as you can. (You should offer to pick it up, of course). Then sprinkle it liberally around the perimeter of your garden. Badgers will not touch or go near things with human scent. I've tried this with my own garden and it keeps the deer and raccoons away, too.
Best of luck.

Some badgers carry a form of TB. This is not transmittable to humans or cows despite what the farming community will try to tell you. Badgers do not usually dig holes to poo into as they are very clean animals which use a designated latrine area. I am assuming that you have seen badgers. Other advice about hair will help as will denying them a food source. Left over bird food etc will attract them.

well... how to put this... you need to mark your territory! Yes that's right with urine... Possibly a job better suited for a male member of the family! I would advise caution as Badgers are fierce creatures, they can be very aggressive!
