What did ‘Mole Busters’ do? Is it the first visit to the neighbor?
The most likely culprit is a collapsed mole burrow. Moles are destructive alive and dead. Alive: I have ruts in my yard where the water followed the mole runs and eroded several inches deep. Dead: I have craters in my yard from collapsed burrows that, at times, give the riding mover a ‘bucking bronco’ effect. I once had a collapsed burrow that I chucked dozens and dozens of walnuts down, and ultimately filled with about ½ a wheelbarrow of dirt.
My house is surrounded on 3 sides by deep woods, so there’s no way to stop the moles from coming back.
If the mole guys used the ‘sonic boom’ method, they could have collapsed the burrow immediately.
