Gardening is a labor of love. Even if you enjoy doing it, maintaining your flower beds, fruit trees, and vegetable plants can be a lot of work. As such, it can be frustrating to find that critters are digging everything up when you’re not looking. Thankfully, wildlife removal specialists may be able to save your garden by removing pests. But first, you'll have to determine who the culprits are so the technicians can devise an effective plan for catching them. 

3 Animals That May Be Digging up Your Garden 

1. Raccoons

Raccoons are sneaky and might dig up entire gardens in search of food. They don't dig with any rhyme or reason, so they can leave quite a mess in their wake. If you notice messy, imperfect holes scattered all over your property, it could be indicative of raccoons. 

2. Rabbits

Rabbits are especially common in vegetable gardens, as they like to munch on the offerings. If you’re growing root vegetables like carrots and potatoes, you can be sure the rabbits will try to dig out your garden in search of them. Signs of these critters include pellet-like droppings and perfectly round holes in the dirt. 

3. Moles

Moles belong to the same family as shrews and bats and feast solely on insects. That means while they won't actually eat your heirloom tomatoes or jalapeño peppers, they might dig up such plants in search of earthworms, larvae, and grubs. In other words, you’ll undoubtedly want to call a nuisance wildlife removal company if you have a mole infestation. Look for cone-shaped molehills to tell if this is the problem.
