Christine -- Have you noticed any tunnels near the surface? What types of
damage is the varmint causing (veges, trees, shrubs, etc)? A hole that
size
could easily be a mole, a vole, a prairie dog, or any number of small
critters.

Personally I'd be adding rat poison or Mole-nots to the holes and maybe set
my Hav-a-hart to catch the critter.
Is Arizona one of those western areas with chronic bubonic plague? That
might be my main concern.
