Some kind of animal has been visited my backyard lawn every night for
a few days. It has digged the grass root out over a large portion of
the lawn and I really need to get rid of it. I do not see any tunnel,
so it is probably not a mole. What are the other types of animals that
may have caused my headache? I will go to home depot tonight to get
traps or repellant. Before I go there, please give me some
recommendataions. Thanks.

Sounds like a skunk. They dig up grubs and eat them. Scent
repellents won't work--these are skunks, after all. Once the grubs
are gone, the skunk will quit digging. The fact that the skunk, if
that's what it is, is finding things to eat under you lawn hints that
you may have hidden problems.
