I’m assuming he is foraging for food. I have caught one previously by the house before we had cats and had trail cam pictures of another coming into the yard. By the amount of dirt moved I’m guessing it was a badger.

If you think he's in the hole you could set a trap down deep and put a board over it to keep the cats out, but he may dig a hole big deep enough for your house to fall in. lol
