We have a solution that we have used for years and kept rodents such as moles out of our yards. Take a 20 foot long stick and put a spinning device with a vain of some kind on the other end. and stick it in the ground. Whenever th wind blows, it causes the spinner to spin, causing a vibration that the rodents can't stand.

Answer 3

What type of rodent is digging? Most likely they are digging to find grubs, so if you eliminate the grubs, you eliminate the rodent. If they are digging because of decomposing veggies, you need to start a compost pile to put the veggies in. Are they eating crops? If they are, you need to repel or kill the thief.

Try getting a vicious CAT!

A dog may work equally, as well.

A good .22 cal. is also effective.

There are also products such as "get off my garden" which work mostly on larger animals, but you can chech the local horticulture store for alternatives!
