Using Burrow Builders for Pocket Gopher Control

G2035
Published 2010

Plains pocket gophers, the most common of four species of pocket gopher in Nebraska, spend nearly their entire lives underground and may only appear aboveground when they excavate soil to the surface or when they disperse to new areas. Each animal can move up to a ton of soil during a year and create dozens of mounds. Pocket gophers create more mounds in spring and fall than in winter or summer.
