Default Tunnelling critters

I got 'em . In my gardens , in the woods , under the house , and other

gophers . I do know my dog (mountain cur) loves to try to catch them ,
digging up their tunnels and shoving his nose in them sniffing . These
tunnels are about 2"-4" below the surface and leave a hump - where there are
a lot of them close together the ground is soft . How do I figure out what
they are ?


Sounds like moles. The only thing I found to effectively eradicate them
where phosphide based poisons put in tunnels.
