Are these indicators of moles?

Have some holes near the foundation of the house that I’ve packed with play sand. Packed pretty tight so it seems unlikely that all of them caved in. Do these look like signs of moles? I don’t have any mounds anywhere in the actual yard.
Only on this 10-foot stretch of the house. Sand in the other locations has remained undisturbed.
If so, what do you recommend.. the traps or the worms?
Appreciate all you folks on this board. Always a wealth of knowledge.

I can’t help but I’m curious as hell.

That could be mice, frogs or who knows what else.
The moles on my property have tunnels that you can see above ground.

Walk around your grass right after you mow it. If your grass is squishy and doesn’t feel as firm and flat as it looks, you definitely have moles.
We have them and those those little bastards drive me crazy. We have killed several in the 10 years we’ve lived here, but they must have litters 100 at a time. My next step is calling Carl Spackler

While we are talking about Moles I have a question. Never had moles, that I know of in my yard. I recently re sodded my back yard after I completed my pool. A couple weeks later I found a small mole floating dead in my pool. It’s been a mystery since and for some reason I still think about it. Is it possible that he came in the sod. How deed do they usually dig. Seems like it would be too shallow for him to come in the sod.

do you have chipmunks in your area?
ETA: do you have a dog? It's about to look wayyyyy worse if it's chipmunks and your dog realizes it.

Rats? My old house in Metairie had rats living in holes under the slab when I first moved in. A bunch of those green cubes down the holes solved that problem.

Get a couple of those old-school colored smoke bombs and throw in the holes. I did that as a kid and wiped out a huge nest of rats under a concrete slab. The rats were running out of the hole in all different colors before dying.

moles don't leave holes.
those are dog-sized rates probably

Never seen anything dig like that. But it ain't moles.

Maybe moles. Walk around in your yard near there and if you feel tunnels sinking under your feet just below the surface, that’s probably moles. Get a mole spring spike.

Do you have skunks around there much? Skunks dig for grubs. Have had that issue in my back yard in south Louisiana and saw the skunk doing it.
