Title: Badgers!!!
Post by: fireblake on 01 October 2013, 12:18:11 pm
Does anyone know a humane way to stop Badgers getting into a garden, the pesky blighters go under the fence and in the process destroy shrubs and flowers?

Lion poo. You can get it from many garden centres thesedays, it gives off 'predator' smells so badgers and the like will give it a very wide berth

is there a particular reason why they're going into your garden...................remove the attraction and they may foc off?
possible answer.........get a few border terriers which may or may not deter them (BTW, how many are in the garden is it a gang of them or a single rogue?)
pm looney tunes.................he's a game keeper and will help with advice

Can I come with you when you go to your local garden centre and ask for some lion poo..... I'll keep a straight face....promise  :b
Reckon the conversation might go something like this..."Hello mate, can I have 10 lbs of lion poo please"
                                                                          "Nah, it's all kilos now mate"
                                                                          "Oh, OK then, can I have 10 lbs of kilos"  :lol

All soo o funny.
I'm not sure how many are coming into the garden as it's over night, just see that all around the access area everything is destroyed. Also not sure what they're coming in for as no food is left out for any animals. I have a Parsons Russell Terrier and she'd happily give chase but although she thinks she's tough she's a wuss and gets duffed up by the local cats. We used to have next door a family living under the garden shed and I'm just wondering if these are the kids all grown up and visiting their old stomping ground. One other tip I've heard is that man urine has a similar effect to Lion poo, not sure if it works but I've been liberally sprinkling the neighbours fence.

Haha , you can forget shooting them, vermin perhaps, protected =yes, dont even go near there set,disturbing them without licence is ilegal too.


Are they routing up the turf on the lawn?


Good wire fencing is the only way to protect your own property. Or borrow a Lion it seems :lol

Stick some cows in your garden and tell the local environmental health officer you think the badgers have TB
