Get a life. Are a few holes in a lawn the the worse thing you
have to worry about? Time to learn to layback and enjoy life,
including the critters making the holes.
BTW many animals dig holes to eat the critters in your lawn
that are doing far more damage.

Maybe you oughta move in next to Dorothy:
EUCLID,OH — Dorothy Richardson, 75, of Waynoka Road, was
charged with cruelty to animals after three neighbors told
police that she beat a baby deer to death with a shovel.
The neighbors, including Euclid Councilman Christopher
Gruber, said Richardson told them she beat the fawn in the
head with a shovel because it was sitting in her flower bed,
according to Law Director Chris Frey.
---------------------------------
Dorothy got her day in court, a 30-day suspended sentence,
$500 fine and must do some community service. I'm glad
she's not my neighbor.

The was an article in my local paper about complaints because of deer.
The person quoted in the article lives on Deerfield path across from
Deer Walk or something like that. I remember reading that and just
burst out laughing. The idiots build houses in a place named after all
the deer and then complain because they eat the plants.

After all the junk replies you got, you might be interested in
something that actually works, doesn't kill, and is environmentally
safe:
http://www.critterbgone.com/
Basically, it is the dried urine of predators (fox, coyote, etc.).
Works on anything with a nose. We've rid our property of raccoons,
opossum and other pests using nothing more than a few sprinkles once or
twice a year.
