Thanks, JC! It was not easy to find - there is no such thing as a snarling, growling, teeth showing yorkie. They have sweet dispositions - but there comes a point where “ENUF is ENUF”!
It was probably javelina - as everything was yanked out (roots and all), leaving large holes, and potting soil all over the lawn.
‘Critters’ aren’t supposed to like the taste of geraniums - (or marigolds - which were eaten by moles several years ago - 36 plants!)
I have tried cayenne pepper - and dog fur, and everything I can think of - but an animal that will eat raw cactus, spikes and all, and habenero peppers, will not be deterred by a little pepper.
I think I am going to go for the Moon Plant (dautra) which is fatally poisonous - every part. Grrrrrrrrrrr

I will tell you one thing....that poisonous plant you gave that link to is one of the prettiest things I’ve seen! But if its so poisonous, why would they still advertise it? makes you want to plant them,doesn’t it?
Wow is that gorgeous! It’s a shame it’s also poisonous.
