Scores of small divots in our lawn


Question
Just this week, some critter is making scores of small divots (1 to 2 inch across, very little soil disturbed) in our lawn each night. According to my schnauzers, it has also taken up residence under our cedar deck. We live in San Antonio, Texas have 4 mature oak trees in the yard + 2 bird feeders w/ seed which I taken in at night.  I'm not thrilled at the notion of extermination, but yet I would like him gone.  Thank you in advance!

Answer
Sounds like a skunk or armadillo.

Control information can be found at http://icwdm.org look up skunks and armadillo. Remember, even if you think it is an armadillo you must be prepared to catch a skunk BEFORE you begin trapping. Follow all state and local laws before you begin a control program.
