Frequently Asked Questions:

How can I tell whether I have moles or gophers?

Well, I am glad you asked! Moles tunnel by pushing the dirt ahead of them, which of course pushes the dirt up, making the trails that you see in a lawn. They have mounds, sometimes, but they are relatively small mounds. Gophers remove the dirt from their tunnels, pushing it up with the skin around their necks, and pushing their heads forward to force the dirt out. This is why they have larger mounds.

If you see small trails, and no mounds, you have moles. Few trails, and large mounds, it is a gopher.
