Raisins are the thing. Its the fact that they are sweet. Once tasted by a badger they will ignore peanuts until all raisins are gone.
They only started digging our lawn up after squirrels started burying peanuts. Untill then no holes at all. Don't forget to leave out water as well. They normally get all their liquid from eating earthworms, so if ground is hard they suffer from lack of water. In a hot dry summer lack of water can kill more than any one other thing.
Let us know how you get on with the tweaks.
