How do you keep squirrels from digging up your lawn?

Question:

Answers:
The squirrels are burying nuts (such as acorns). My property adjoins a wooded area, and several squirrel families plague me and my neighbors.

I decreased the problem somewhat by putting a squirrel feeder in the FAR corner of my yard and keep it filled with black-oil sunflower seeds. After 2 years, the squirrels are apparently less anxious about storing food; they dig less and have not ventured into my yard farther than their feeder. Squirrels are territorial, so this does not attract more squirrels; it just feeds the ones that already live there.

I have found that feeding the little pests is easier and less time consuming than dogs, traps, repellents, shotguns, and yelling at them.

A bb gun, and good aim!

I have lived in rural areas many times and I have never saw a squirrel digging. Are you sure it is a squirrel?

The buggers are probably burying nuts...they used to do it in my yard all the time.
Really no solution except to buy a dog.
