It’s annoying to discover unsightly holes, mounds, or tunnels in your lawn or garden beds. This isn’t always easy to see, but the Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management offers information on identifying tracks and animal droppings, which may be helpful for figuring out potential culprits. RodentsMany different types of rodents may be digging up your yard, including squirrels, chipmunks, and even rats. For example, squirrels will bury and dig up nuts in the lawn and mulched beds, while chipmunks tend to make holes near stumps, buildings and brush piles. Other AnimalsWhile you may be tempted to blame other animals such as opossums or snakes, or even coyotes for making holes or burrows in your yard, these creatures are more likely to use existing animal holes for their dens.
