đž Tiny Tunnels. Big Problems.
If youâre seeing mounds of dirt, dead patches of grass, or mysterious holes popping up around your property, you could be dealing with voles, pocket gophers, or ground squirrels.
While they may look harmless, these burrowing pests can cause serious damage:
đš Voles chew roots, landscaping plants, irrigation lines, and even tree bark.
đš Pocket Gophers create extensive tunnel systems that destroy lawns, gardens, and underground utilities.
đš Ground Squirrels undermine foundations, retaining walls, patios, and walkways with their burrows.
But the damage doesnât stop there.
â ď¸ These rodents can carry parasites such as fleas, ticks, and mites, and some species have been linked to diseases that can affect people and pets. Their burrows can also create tripping hazards and attract predators looking for an easy meal.
In the mountains, a few tunnels can quickly turn into a property-wide problem if left untreated.
The best time to act is before the damage spreads.
