Expression for 'beating or stopping a hole in ground and another one appears?

I have seen this in many cartoons, where the farmer tries to shut one hole in garden so his veggies are not stolen but another one appears and so on and so forth. One of the most obvious example of these are bugs bunny animation movies, where bugs after eating all the veggies asks the farmer 'What's up doc. ?
