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.
Mole and gopher activity above ground (and also below the ground) is very different. Letâs discuss the evidence you can see above ground. A gopher creates crescent shaped mounds with a distinctive plug at the top of the crescent. The mound is evidence of excavating underground tunnels. As the gopher excavates, it must dump the soil it is excavating undergroundâ¦above the ground. A gopher also creates 2-3 inch holes and plugs them immediately.
