Simple kidney cysts that are causing symptoms or blocking the flow of blood or urine through the kidney may need to be treated using a procedure called sclerotherapy. In sclerotherapy, the doctor punctures the cyst using a long needle inserted through the skin. Ultrasound is used to guide the needle to the cyst.
Note the dirt clods that are also characteristic of a mole. Gophers will not make these kinds of mounds or dirt clods. A burrow system is a vast network of interconnecting tunnels and passages. Tunnels vary in depth from 3 to 30 inches. Moles are active year round and make regular use of their tunnels.
Notice the crescent shape with the plug, unlike a mole mound that is conical shaped and never has a plug. Two gopher mounds, but still the crescent with the plug. In addition to creating mounds and eating roots from underground, gophers will dig open holes to the surface to feed on surface vegetation.Some feed holes are only the size of a silver dollar, other feed holes are 2 to 3-inches across.ophers are active year round, solitary and territorial. An adult male gopher can control territory up to 2000 square feet. A gopher will dig up to 7 or 8 tunnels which may extend as much 800 feet each.
