Default Critters in my mulch

Every night some critter is digging in the pine bark mulch around our
landscape. Yesterday I spread some moth balls around and last night the
activity was the worst I ever had.

Not sure what the animal is, maybe possum or raccoon.

Short of sitting out there after dark with night vision goggles and a 22
rifle and suggestions for keeping the pests away?

Thanks....


So, I have a fox and her pups, an oppossum who digs, a skunk who comes
in now and again, a resident armadillo in one of the brush piles,
snakes, skinks, lizards, birds and rats. What should I do, kill every
living thing so my mulch stays smooth?

Troll.
