Where do gophers burrow?
A gopher’s tunnel complex has a few different components including mounds, feeding tunnels, and the main tunnel. Tunnel systems are built about 18 inches below ground with nesting burrows up to 6 feet underground. Your first indication that you may be dealing with gophers in your yard is the appearance of mounds, crescent-shaped piles of excavated dirt, that result from excess soil that is moved to the ground surface during tunnel construction.
