good, I can't see a thing there I think they dig under ( or a gap ) rather than climb over.Wrecking my new grass at 1.30am.
I'm not sure how they got in, would they climb/jump a wall or would they neeed a gap?
I've got some CCTV cameras that I'm going to set up tonight.
presumably the badger detects food under the grass. What do you think it might be?
RSPCA said:How can I stop badgers digging up my garden?
Badgers may dig up lawns for insect larvae (particularly leatherjackets) or for a latrine that may be dug to mark their territories. Latrines are most conspicuous in the spring and to a lesser extent in the autumn. Digging lawns for leatherjackets and grubs is most pronounced in the late autumn and early spring. As this damage is limited to certain periods of the year, many gardeners find it easier to tolerate rather than trying to exclude badgers from their garden. The application of an appropriate pesticide might be considered to remove the insects that are attracting the badgers to the lawn. Alternatively, biological control products containing tiny predatory nematode worms are available online, from garden centres or by mail order for use against insects such as leatherjackets.
