    Badger bothering baloney

    So the badgers have caused some consternation on the allotment site.
    Personally I've lost more to slugs and pigeons but some people seem to have developeed a bee in their bonnets...

    Anyhow - does lion poo deter badgers?
    How about male urine ( I do worry that my urine may 'attract' the *lady* badgers as my pheremones are something to behold) ?

    Any other deterence that works? (I'm not sure I can get a ready supply of lion poop anyway)...

    I've never beheld a pheromone, male or otherwise. But pee seems to be recommended. I guess you'll have seen this, but I do quite like the suggestion of scarers with glowing eyes at the end:

      The little blighters devastated our lawn last year. We could play croquet on it before.

      We caught them in the act on the video in this link. Badgers digging up the lawn · quanglewangle.com

      .22 centre fire would be the answer but not allowed...
      I live in a part of the UK with very mild winters. Please take this into account before thinking "if he is sowing those now...."

        The green keepers here spray the greens with a weed killer that gets rid of leather jackets.

          Very interesting all my research suggested such a thing was no longer available. Further details would be most welcome. I don't mind using chemicals on non-food areas and as we have a sizeable wild area I am in credit with wildlife generally.

            That grass looks a bit too long for playing croquet on

              We let it go once the guests arrived (and we have low standards)
