Help! There's Something digging in my yard!!

It sounds like it could be voles. You can repel them with castor oil. It's nontoxic and doesn’t even hurt the animals. Simply spray it where you want it, and the unpleasant taste and smell of the stuff makes castor oil an effective vole repellent.

Squirrels. Doing it to my yard in NJ.

voles, moles, gophers, squirrels, it could be any one of them! My dog is a digger [sadly to say for my yard] and is very effective at pest control...until she brings them in the house to share [ick!] Try as many natural type repellents as possible, one will eventually work.

Human hair. You can usually get it free from a local hairdresser. Also, voles like a moist ground. So if you have a very shady lawn, you can try to get more sunlight to dry it out some

Sqirrels are digging deep in my yard. They are finding last falls acorns. It looks bad in our new mulch.

toss moth balls in the holes. They don't like the smell

You could actually have a problem with grubs. They are like a little snack for ground Critters. You could try spreading something to kill the grubs and see if that helps? Or you could invite the neighborhood kids over to play whack a mole! Lol. Good luck!

Are they sort of cone shaped holes you find in the morning? If so, it very likely could be skunks! They are after the grubs in the dirt in your yard. Get rid of the grubs and the critters eating them will leave too. :)

If you are in the south, it may be armadillos.

Buy grass seed mix and wait until summer when the digging will probably decrease or stop. Grubs become beetles, squirrels will have found their stash and not started saving for next winter.

Don't know where you are but it sounds like Armadillos to me. I hate them. They are a smaller version of a rutting pig. They are going after the grubs. I use granules broadcast in early spring to kill the grubs and the moles and armadillos went away.

Skunks or known to dig for grubs in yards.
