**Identifying Pocket Gophers:**

*Pocket gophers* are burrowing rodents known for their destructive tunneling activities. To effectively address an infestation, it’s essential to recognize the signs of their presence:

1. **Mounds:** Look for crescent-shaped mounds of soil in your yard or garden. These mounds are a telltale sign of pocket gophers, as they push excess soil to the surface while digging their tunnels. They kind of look like large ant mounds.

2. **Tunnels:** Gopher tunnels typically run just below the surface and are marked by raised ridges in the soil. These tunnels can extend for several feet and are often interconnected. Most of the time they’re a couple feet underneath the soil and you won’t see them.

3. **Plant Damage:** Pocket gophers are herbivores and feed on the roots of plants. If you notice your plants wilting, toppling, or showing signs of root damage, it could be due to gophers feeding on them.

4. **Fresh Dirt Plugs:** Gophers use dirt plugs to seal off the entrance to their tunnels. These are small mounds of fresh soil found near tunnel entrances.

5. **Visible Gopher Holes:** Occasionally, you may spot the entrance holes to gopher tunnels. These are typically small, crescent-shaped openings.
