About 2 weeks ago these holes began to appear in my yard. I have done some research on what I believe them to be, but it is still March. I am in South Jersey right outside of Philadelphia. Any advice will be great!

Normally I would just let them be,but they are located directly surrounding my front porch and up to the sidewalk. This is a path that my 3- 50 pound dogs tread over numerous times a day. I am worried for their safety.

I would say that today the number of holes is probably at 40-50 holes. Most are just holes with no dirt piles around them. The one in the sidewalk crack and just a few others have a little dirt surrounding them. This is area where there is not much vegetation (I have my pups to thank for that). So far I have not noticed anything coming or going, but the number of holes increases every day.

Thanks!!
