Have only had one small area dug this year and I'm not so sure it wasn't a squirrel burying a left over black walnut...since I found one buried there when I planted my tomato plant.

I have had friends who sprinkled cayenne pepper powder and/or black pepper over the top, but I've never had to use that method.
