The snow is melting and look at all the damage? What is it and what can I do about? I’ve had moles before and trap some during the summer. Is there a way to handle this mess?

Thank you for writing.
The first question is mole or vole. I need a sense of the size of these tunnels. https://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/how-to-tell-the-difference-between-moles-voles/

I am hazarding guess that you have voles.
Here are some management ideas if I am correct but this is as far as I can go right now.
