What are these small mounds from? Grubs? Mole crickets? eathworms? I have no clue but they are everywhere where soil is exposed... Anyone have any idea? Scratching my head. They have been popping up all winter and still popping up. Thanks in advance!

Those look like earthworm castings. Google a picture. Not a bad thing necessarily.
Ok, I had a feeling they were and I know that an abundance of earth worms means you have healthy soil right? I just had a concern because every time I dig, there are tons of white grubs and in late summer or early fall, there is a lot of mole crickets. between the mole crickets and the grubs, they kill everything off every year. Every year I have to start from scratch! This year I'm going to kill them all with some pesticide. Any recommendations?
