The crawdad holes I've seen have a big mud hill around it.
My first thought was an armadillo was digging in your yard. Don't know if you have them where you live.View attachment 759350
What's in my yard and how do I get rid of it. There is no mound like a mole have not seen anything and the sonic vibration things have done nothing.
Thanks
Well I have proof that Chipmunks do dig in the ground. I had a hole in my yard, no dirt pilled up. The hole was about a 1 and a quarter in diameter.Around here - that's a mouse hole. Pocket gophers leave a mound of dirt. Chipmunks do not dig holes in the ground. I don't have voles nor moles or ground hogs.
When coyotes or badgers dig - they leave a MASSIVE hole.
So far, what I see and what you describe then I would say moles. They don't always make a mound of dirt pushed up if just foraging for grubs and worms. Just burrow along under the surface making a tunnel to move around. May push up a mound where they make a nest and want more room.The holes are about the size of a golf ball. They are plugged up down an inch or so. No dirt on the surface like a mole.
I can not see a tunnel move like I see in the clips on line. But they collapse under you when you walk over them.
Look closer at the OP's pictures. These have the mud hills, just not as large as some get. Come on guys -- these are crawdad projects.The crawdad holes I've seen have a big mud hill around it.
I also live in the Northwest. We have problems with voles and that looks like the holes in our yard.View attachment 759350

Voles also feed alot on worms.So I have tried putting out grains and peanut butter that is supposed to draw voles and mice and squirrels. Have not have anything taken. I will try again. They seem to dig all over the yard and garden but as far as I can tell they are not eating anything in the garden? Or maybe I can't tell because of what the deer eat...
