Another cause of lawn damage is Sandhills Cranes. They can do lots of damage during their search for food in the ground.
They also like to hide under the edge of the concrete drive and walkways to keeo out of the cooler weather. If you can find any mole cricket bait, comes in granule form, usually works and last better than the sprays.
