Hey there Leopold. I know that this is a fairly, ah, mundane question, but I recently noticed an uptick in (roughly) bite sized potholes in my driveway, and I can’t find a source. I set up a camera, and from what I saw, something bites the ground, thrashes it around like it’s a dog playing tug of war, and then the material just disappears. Any idea what’s causing this, and any advice on deterrents or ways to keep this from happening?

Oooh, fun one. And you can't get a good sense of what's doing the biting? My first instinct is ontophages. Typically they start smaller, like eating paperclips, but sometimes there's an outlier. Unfortunately there's not much you can do on your end if it's ontophages. There are some products that promise to enforce consensus reality enough to dissuade the little goobers, but we don't have any…
