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.
Flooding is perhaps the next least toxic way to get rid of gophers. This is done in much the same way it is done to get rid of moles. Dig a hole deep enough into the burrow to expose the gopherâs main runwayâmake sure you bring a big shovel (youâll know why in a moment).ouâll know youâve found a gopher tunnel once the pole feels like itâs broken through something and dropped roughly 2-3 inches. Do this on both sides, as the diagram shows you. Now, mark those spots and get a shovel or a post-hole digger. Dig a hole just deep enough so that you can see the bottom of the gopherâs runway.
