Mystery holes in your yard? Here’s the animal most likely responsible
Homeowners facing lawn damage from burrowing animals can identify culprits by examining hole types, locations, and timing. Moles create raised ridges and mounds while hunting insects, whereas voles make shallow surface tracks and eat plant roots. Skunks and raccoons grub for larvae, leaving cone-shaped holes, while larger animals like armadillos and groundhogs dig substantial tunnels.
