    They are looking for food... aka bugs. Make sure to apply pest/bug control to your lawn flower garden.

    Shooting it is the only way to get rid of it! Make sure he is dead, as his armor is thick and he will play dead to get you to stop!

    Every time a bulb is planted, plant three or four garlic cloves around it. Once all bulbs and cloves are planted, cover with "chicken wire" and then soil. If the garlic fails to repel them, the wire will thwart them. Much good luck with your lawn and flower beds!

    They are after grubs and cutworms. Try a cayanne tea around the front part of the bed, like me they don't like hot stuff
