Garden devastated within weeks - holes

Hi all! I am new here ( found some similar topics throughout google, but didn't wanted to mess in other's topics ).

It started as one-two small "holes" appearing every night/early morning. Yesterday we came back from our holiday ( 7 nights) and I... am just speechless ;/ I can see some squirrels , magpies, foxes in the area - not directly in my garden, but I can see them from time to time, but I just can't believe, that squirrel or magpie is able to make such a hole! This is Bristol area ( Kingswood). Both my neighbours are ok - looks like only my garden is affected. I would like to ask for some idea/help before installing CCTV. Four peoples are living here, and no trace of any animal etc!! So annoying ;/

 

My friend just said she has same ( similar) holes made by dog. Is it possible that some dog could remember good spot to "dig" ?

 

We have the same, badger will make holes like that, if the holes are being done at night then badger and may be a fox

 

One of my clients has the same problem, which is caused by a fox.

 

My Daughter lives in Brizzle, (Southmead) Built up area, full of urbane badgers. She feeds them sometimes.

 

Hi . Thank you very much for all your comments and suggestions. After few months I just couldn't stand this and finally I've installed cctv... 2nd night after installation :

 

You also need to find the point of entry and block it off. We lost almost all of our (like thousands)Tulip bulbs to them. I have had to put wire net fencing all the way round to stop them getting in. You should be able to see their paths. They are creatures of habit, so you need to break that habit somehow.

 

So are Deer! As per flaming usual most of my Camellias are now both leaf and flowerbudless. I put Clematis netting round them but the Deer just pull it off the shrubs.They have had a good go at the Aubretia and browsed over most of the rest of the garden. Given up with so called deterrents like human hair which had zero effect. Would cost a fortune to fence the garden high enough to keep them out so just sigh/swear and accept it's part of living in the countryside

 

Hi silu, I tried hair to deter deer as well, with equally disappointing results. A combination of CDs and bars of cheap, smelly soap does work, though! The CDs glint, even at night, and the smell of the soap repels them. The other very effective deterrent is to place scarecrows made to look like French hunters around the garden, complete with fake guns :-)
