Grass darkening (dying) with nightly animal holes suggests armadillos or birds digging for insects. The insects — likely grubs or other soil pests — are the primary problem; animals are just the symptom.
Soap-flush suspect areas (2 oz dish soap in 2 gal water over 2 sq ft). Count surfacing pests. If grubs exceed 5-10 per square foot, treat with appropriate insecticide timed for larval stage.
Once insects are managed, reseed or sod damaged areas. Fill holes, level soil, and maintain consistent moisture for establishment.
