I noticed a hole the other day after I mowed my backyard on Friday. Saturday there was a lot more dirt outside the hole, and this morning there is a second hole about 6-8 feet away. I will set up a game cam tonight to see what shows, but anyone know what little pest this is and how to get rid of it?

Yeah, if that hole is only about 3/4-1", then it's a CK.

Holy smokes. I have these in my yard too. I was thinking possible a mole, but there was no obvious tunnel. Looks like they are a seasonal thing and no need to kill them, correct?
