Skunks. They dig these little holes looking for grubs!

 

:thumb:

 

And right now is prime-time for grubs.

OK I will confess, I did, Its just something I do. I get up in the middle of the night and go to random BGP moderator's house's, take a piece of PVC pipe and make little holes around the sidewalk. Sorry I have been getting some help, I hope it works.:eek:

BF, I'm afraid this won't put your mind at ease. Squirrels are prominently mentioned.

Sounds like it could be raccoons (of which we have many) or skunks, like spe690 said. Mght also be the stump hole thing, since we have lost a couple trees out there. But since these all showed up over night, I don't think that's it.

 

I'll go take some CSI-style photos for you all to examine the evidence.

Most likely skunks. Could be moles.

 

There aren't 18 of 'em with little flags sticking out, are there?

 

 

Could be this guy.....

No, but "size-wise" that's about right.

We had the guy out here last summer to spray for those! :madman:

Crawdads.
Thought of that; but we don't live near water.

If your weather is anything like Maysville's weather, you just may live near water. I'm trying to figure out what a cubit is.:D

Is there property nearby that stays moist or water standing due to all the recent downpours?

Yeah, down in back, next door. Water runs down their driveway and creates a mini-lake on their turnaround.

My guess would be crawdads or maybe night crawlers. After dark tonight grab a flashlight and do your best impression of CSI, you may find your culprit. Keep us posted when you find the answer.

If this doesn't work, give your county Extension Agent a call, I'm sure he will know immediately.

Sounds like cicadas, but it's they're not due for a long time around here.
