I believe badgers have a very strict pattern to their territory and are very hard to deter even digging through fences to get to their patch. She should be honoured to have a visiting badger, I would be delighted. Maybe if she starts feeding him he will become less of a nuisance.

sorry, but badgers are a protected species. look at this.
The main legislation protecting badgers in England and Wales is the Protection of Badgers Act 1992 (the 1992 Act). Under the 1992 Act it is an offence to interfere with a badger sett by: • damaging a sett or any part thereof; • destroying a sett; • obstructing access to a sett; • causing a dog to enter a sett; and • disturbing a badger while occupying a sett. The 1992 Act defines a badger sett as: “any structure or place which displays signs indicating current use by a badger”. long story short, its his garden now! i am jealous of you though, badgers are awesome!
