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.


Don't know where you're located but down here in south Texas, the
first thought would be Armadillos.
