Question

Hi bear with me on this, last night I found a perfectly round hole in my lawn about 20mm diameter, it turns 90 deg about 50mm down. I put a tennis ball over the hole last night to detect any movement, the ball was still in place this morning, I have put several watering cans of water into the hole, a few ants and bugs came out but nothing else, does anybody know what could cause this? Cheers

Answer 4

Bees nest in the ground. They won't be able to move anything you put over it and you may have drowned them now

@palate bees do nest in the ground, but they make tiny pin prick holes and lots of them, not one big hole. I agree with above, possibly a rat
