As I’m having a Chatgpt day, because I’m under the weather and sitting under a blanket, I asked it for you.
How can I keep badgers from scratching my garage doors?
There are several ways you can try to stop badgers from scratching your garage doors:
Remove attractants: Badgers may be attracted to your garage if there are sources of food or shelter nearby. Make sure to keep any food sources, such as trash or pet food, securely stored. Also, seal any potential entry points to your garage to prevent them from seeking shelter there.
Use repellents: You can try using natural or commercial repellents to deter badgers. Some natural options include placing strong-smelling plants like lavender, mint, or garlic around your garage, or using predator urine or hot pepper spray. There are also commercial repellents available that contain substances that are unpleasant to badgers.
Install barriers: You can also install physical barriers to prevent badgers from accessing your garage doors. This could include erecting a fence around the perimeter of your property or installing metal mesh or wire fencing around the base of your garage doors.
It's important to note that badgers are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 in the UK, so it is illegal to harm or kill them. Therefore, it's best to use humane methods to deter them from scratching your garage doors
