Gophers, Ground Squirrels, and Other Yard Pests: Identifying and Controlling the Problem
Dirt mounds in your yard may indicate gopher activity—or possibly ground squirrels, moles, or, less commonly, voles. Regardless of the culprit, the damage they cause can be frustrating.
The Sod-Awful Truth
In ideal conditions, 35 gophers can occupy an acre—meaning your typical 7,600 sq ft lot could host 3-4 of these persistent pests, damaging your lawn, plants, and garden—no bueno!

More Info
Pest remediation starts with identification.
Here are a few tips to help identify what is causing damage to your yard:
Gophers
Gopher mounds are typically horseshoe-shaped piles of loose earth, typically around 1 foot across, and the burrow entrance is closed.
Ground Squirrels
Ground squirrels burrow entrances tend to have more dirt around them than gophers, and the burrow entrance is open (unplugged) and roughy softball-sized.
Moles
Mole mounds are conically shaped with closed burrow entrances. Moles may also form meandering raised ridges above their tunnels–crackled in appearance and about four inches wide.
Voles
Voles do not create dirt mounds. Their burrow entrances are open (unplugged) and about 1.5 inches in diameter.
