I have about 20 of the same holes in my lawn. They go deep and have tunnels. One day about 3 weeks ago when it was real rough and the waves were hitting my shorefront block wall water was coming out the holes 6 feet from the shoreline. They must have built some nice waterfront condos down there!

I thought it might be from chipmunks because my yard is loaded with chipmunks, but this is the first year that they have dug all of the holes. I bought some "shake" type powder at Lowes and put it in each hole. The container says that they don't like the scent. It seems to be working because the holes that I put the powder in and filled with loam have not been re-dug.
