What kind of critter?

18 years ago

Back of the yard, near the common ground (where there are a lot of scrub-type bushes) there is a tunneling problem in the yard. Every few inches, there are holes where you can see down into the tunnel.

What kind of critter does this? Neither Dh nor I have seen any animals, but something is making these tunnels. We have no idea what steps to take next unless we know what the critter is...

Any guesses?

Are these raised tunnels that you can see winding around your yard....with occasional holes to the surface?

If so, moles AND voles.

Holes every few inches down into the same tunnel. Laterally.

moles AND voles? AGGH!
