Content: Damage done by pocket gophers is similar to moles, but there is a major difference. Dirt mounds are crescent-shaped (like a "C") with a "dirt plug" on one side of the mound
If the damage seems to be that of a pocket gopher, we recommend viewing the University of California's website on this topic. Ground Squirrels: The key identifier for these rodents is an exposed tunnel entrance with discarded dirt surrounding the entrance of the tunnel. You can see right into a ground squirrel burrow, unlike that of moles or pocket gophers. Read more about ground squirrels at the University of California website on this topic. Voles: While voles can create damage to trees, shrubs, bulbs and perennials consuming roots, and eating bark from the base of small trees; they typically “piggy back” on the damage done by moles. Voles (often incorrectly referred to as “meadow mice”) tend to travel in mole tunnels and often are the cause of damage to roots, bulbs, and tubers within.
