Default strange lawn pest

Hi all,
This one has everybody stumped.
Some history, I used to have a hybrid bermuda lawn, till Trugreen killed
it(another story).
After most of the bermuda died and only small clumps would come back, there
appeared small mounds of fine castings, like tiny ant hills 1/4 to 3/8 "
dia. these were very fine round pellets. They became so thick they buried
what bermuda was left.....End of bermuda, so I dug up the rest of the
bermuda, flooded the area with Seven(recommended by nursery) and tilled,
added compost, tilled it in, leveled, rolled and ordered Marathon 3 sod,
before laying the sod I put down a layer of Bayer granules(again
recommended) and laid the sod.
So far so good. Two months later the sod is dieing out in large areas, look
at the problem and sure enough the sod is getting buried again, chocking the
crowns of the grass. OK called the county ag dept, their answer"I Donno", so
much for taxpayers money...
Any guesses?????
