So I just cut my grass and I want to make it look nice. I'm going to go to Lowe's and buy some fertilizer/grass feed to clear up some dead spots, but I have an issue.
There are holes like pic related scattered in my backyard, but I'm not sure what they are from. I poured some water out of the hose into one of them to see how far it went down and I didn't manage to overflow it.
I googled a little and I think they might be voles or something. I had a problem with burrowing wasps last year but I don't think this is them. I was wondering if somebody could confirm what it was. I want to start taking pride in my lawn but this is a pretty big problem.
Thanks for any and all help, guys.
Hmmmmmmmmmm strange, dank, deep, and dark holes you say?
Stick your dick in it.

Would help if you mentioned which country.

Sorry, east coast US. New Jersey, to be specific.

Got a burrowing mammal for sure.
It could also be a skunk digging for grubs.

What about a groundhog? I know there is one that lives in the woods in the backyard, my dogs are always trying to get at it.

>this is a pretty big problem
I'd worry about that grass first...or rather what looks like a lot of weeds

Need to get gas for the weedwacker, going to grab that tomorrow, in addition to some weed killer.

At the beach? I recognize that sandy soil.
Put a gun inside and pull the trigget

Within a few miles of the beach. Where I live specifically has got some pretty sandy soil.

skunks/ grub eaters. Get grub killer and they'll have nothing to eat except bulbs from plants
CT here, we have those in our yard too. Pretty sure it's chipmunks.

I would imagine larger holes. I was thinking get smaller rodents of the mole variety or similar shrew like rodents.

NJanon here. You've got a burrowing mammal. Something small like a vole, probably not a groundhog.
What shore town are you in? Bradley Beach, myself

I have similar holes, but they're from chipmunks. I pour hot pepper flakes in them whenever I see them. I don't know if it stops them, though. They just sort of sit there in the flakes making squinty eyes.

Mix bleach and ammonia 50/50 and pour it down there while holding your breath. It creates a lethal gas that kills anything under the ground. + the rodents are already buried.

This but instead of the chloramine (?) gas I would suggest a few hundred litres of piranha solution
