oh, oh. Am getting golfball sized holes in the yard. Mostly
the grass, and some in the potted plants. It doesn't look
like tunnels, as far as I can tell. There are more and more
everyday. What is it? Voles, gophers, or something and what
are they looking for and what should I do?

eek!

Could also be squirrels or skunks.


cicadas?


golf ball size cicadas? are we going for a horror movie? (i have
annual & 17 year cicadas. neither makes a hole bigger than half an
inch)


If they don't look like tunnels, I'd say something is foraging for
insects. Something like racoons.
