deeply because they are excavating just under turf

Wrong again ratbreath. Mole nesting chambers tend to be 12-18 inches deep.
They dig two types of tunnels, those just under the surface for feeding and
interconnecting tunnels 6 to 20 inches deep for travel between feeding and
nesting areas. You need to check your facts prior to posting.

Our queriant said the holes were several feet straight down. Not that you
ever worry about what people are actually talking about.
