We had the same issue when we bought 6 years ago. Massey guy identified mole crickets down below that sand cranes were digging for. Interesting demo. He poured a bucket of water on the spot where they were digging. Two minutes later, the mole crickets emerged from below. A couple treatments took care of the issue.
