"Try spraying the bin/area with lion pee or similar. Just remember badgers are a protected species and you can do anything that could physically harm them" I’ve heard that male pee is supposed to deter them actually, good idea. | |||

"Would you not leave out food for him? He's obsviously hungry...or maybe the Badger is a She with cubs to feed. I've never seen a real live Badger... Wow" I’d have no problem leaving out food but I’d just be afraid to attracting rats and stuff. It very well could be a she. | |||

"I think leaving our food will make the situation worse? If there is something there (food/bin full of food) to attract them they will keep coming back, and if it is a female with babies, she’ll start bringing her babies too (this is where we eat guys!) Secure the bin lid and it’ll get fed up and move on " Thank you | |||

"Try picking up some cheap aftershave and spray lots of it around where the badger is getting in. If my experience is anything to go by when I'm out everyone scampers off pretty quickly once they get the scent off me No but seriously the smell is way too strong for them and the will hate it. Couple of nights in a row of that and it should solve your problem" Awh!! Haha I’ll give it a go. Thank you. | |||

"You need to get a French lovestruck skunk. The skunk will inevitably form an unrequited love with the badger, falsly believing it too to be a skunk. After an episode of romantic advances, rejections and mishaps, the violated badger will surely run away, while the forlorn skunk moves on to his next adventure. " That's great advice OP Failing that, consider my advice as plan B, get the cat | |||

"Dont feed them, people make the same mistake with foxes thinking the poor thing must be hungry and have pups to feed, they are meant to survive and forage in the wild not pop to the nearest wheelie bin to grab a take away like we would a McD's. Urban sprawl and easy access is why they do it not out of necessity. They don't get the dietary requirements they need from your bin or from dog food you would leave out, they just do it because it's there and they develope a habit for the easy way. In some parts of the states it would be bears going through your bins and they have gotten very braisen at it, will wonder in during broad daylight and pull your bin apart infront of you, even go into peoples houses and garages because they know the bin is there and feeding any wild animal will only encourage the behaviour. If you have a shed put your bin away at night or the bungy cord trick as mentioned above. They are a protected species but we don't want obese badgers and foxes that can't fend for themselves." | |||

A friend of mine did that once ran outside barefoot and roared at a badger that was eating out of his bin and it growled at him and locked onto to 1 of his big toes.. Had to spend a night in A&E and was on crutches for a week.. Lost his toe nail.. They can be vicious when challenged | |||

"And then they cull them regardless of being infected with TB or not." T.B. and badgers are one of the biggest industries in the country.it employs thousands of people that costs the tax payer millions upon millions every year for the last 50 to 60 years.this is why the badger is a protected species..its cows and cattle thats getting culled every year by the thousands and not the badgers.. so the badger is protected number 1 and the milks cow and beef cattle culled number 2..so there is more thought of the badger than the farmer. | |||

"Everybody blames badgers for giving cattle TB but the elephant in the room is Deer.. They are riddled with it and in some cases mix freely with livestock but badgers always get a bad rap.. " but sure as i said all ready its a multi million euro industry.sure look at all the dept of agri vets,civil servants,ordinary vets ,in every county in ireland that make a living out of the t.b.industry..and yes as you have just said the deer have it as well and no test on them..so the deer must be protected as well..so its just the milks cow and the beef cattle and the farmer that gets culled by the dept vets.. | |||
