Rooting around in the soil sounds like raccoons or skunks.(feral pigs also on the list but likely you would have mentioned hoof prints) Personally I just start hard core trapping till I get enough stuff set to catch the problem. Barrel traps let me catch cats etc without hurting them while I can terminate the problems when they are caught.
