How to keep raccoons aways from the lawn?

[FromCali]

Raccoons are digging holes in the lawn. Any ideas on how to keep them away?

I have heard they do not like the smell of Amonia. So simple cleaner--Amonia, sprayed about might just work.

Most animals don't like the smell of human, male urine, you might be better peeing in the watering can, than standing there, especially if it is out front.

They’re probably after beetle grubs. You can spray/soak with spinosad to help control the grubs.
