Badgers are still a frequent nuisance pest. They could cause damage to lawns or fencing as they forage for food. While it is against the law to use pesticides or other means to try to get rid of badgers from your back garden, there are some lawful and humane options to prevent badgers. The easiest solution is simply to try to take out their food source, which will typically mean they don’t bother going to your garden. If they are overturning and eating from bins, simply shut them safely with elastic cord. Other deterrent solutions include motion activated ultrasonic sound systems.
