Badgers

Your right Bulbaholic I had badgers in once and you'd have thought wild boar had been in ,Roy.

Thanks for the comments. Badgers never occurred to me but my garden is backed by woodland so it makes sense. Is there any deterrent ? would appreciate any ideas. Thanks again.

Hi Singking I don't know if you've got hedges or fence but I have a lot of overlap fencing and they were digging under it to get in and then digging under it to get out in a different place. So I dug a channel on the outside and sunk some pig netting ( square type ) into it about 18" deep and tacked it to the fence, touch wood and eveything crossed they havn't been in since, Roy.
