Plugging up 'old' chipmunk holes near foundation?

I've caught 8 chipmunks in 2 weeks with my Havahart, it works great. I did it because they were digging their holes too close to my foundation for my comfort.

So, I want to start plugging up their holes to prevent water infiltration towards my foundation...(hopefully new holes won't pop up or havahart comes back out)...

How do I plug up the holes to keep the water out?

I bought top-soil, but their holes and burrows run deep, right? So how do I fill it adequately? Fill with topsoil, wet it, refill, over & over? Use a stick to push it in? Will big rocks work better or plug it with round plugs of wood? Or will the water work its way in and there's no way to fix it?

Thanks!
