Not knowing your location, but if its in the south I would suspect an
Armadillo. They will make cone shaped holes all over a lawn and also
uproot large portions of a larn or flower bed. Squirrels also dig
holes but usually they are not cone shaped like the holes an
armadillo makes.

If your in armadillo territory( and they do range pretty far north
anymore and going further north evey year) don't waste your money on
traps or repellents. The nly way I have found to erradicate these
pests is constant survelance from late night and early morning with a
flash light and shovel or shotgun!
