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.
You may also see freshly plugged holes around 3 inches in diameter in your lawn or garden, without dirt mounds. These are dug in places where gophers emerge to feed. Gophers donât dig surface tunnels like moles. They dig their living chambers and tunnels up to 6 feet underground.
