What kind of holes, shallow, deep? Are the holes like burrows where an animal lives? Or are they shallow depressions? I don't think rats or mice dig holes in the dirt.

I agree with socks. I have small holes in my lawn from field mice, but the original holes were from moles.

Do you have chipmunks or ground squirrels? They'll dig holes.

If you use bait, be sure no other animals have access to the area.

We had rats under our shed for awhile. My hubby poured antifreeze down the holes and filled them up. We haven't seen one since.

*He didn't tell me he was doing this, or I probably would've objected. We had tried a bunch of other stuff before this, and my dog even accidentally ate some rat poison at one point (she's fine, by the way, went to the vet etc.) We tried the stuff that smells like fox pee, everything. I only saw one rat the entire time (6 month duration) and always just saw the holes. We have no ground squirrels (north east) and no moles or chipmunks. We found out that our neighbors behind us, had been throwing a bunch of trash into the swamp area there, and that is what attracted them.

we had rats burrow and live under the cement pad in our driveway. I could never figure out if it was caving/ backfilling or an animal making the holes until I drove in our driveway one night and my headlights caught a big fat nasty rat hightailing it into the hole. GROSSSSSSSSSSS!

I kept them fed a steady and unlimited supply of rat poison and never seen them again.

It is really bad for the environment (think ground water) to pour antifreeze down a rat hole.

What was he thinking? I watch "Verminator" on the Discovery channel sometimes. They use the T-Rex for rats.

D-Con works very well, much better then traps. Good luck!
