Default I suspect a mole or gopher is digging up my garden. How can I tell which it

is, and what can I do about it? I see paths of raised dirt. I don't think the plants are getting eaten. I have also seen some very small holes around the perimeter of the driveway (maybe about 1.5 inch in diameter), which looks sort of small for either mole or gopher. Would love to know how to get rid of this critter.

i heard that you can buy some coyote urine in a bottle and spray it around your lawn. this scares the gophers away.

Moles and gophers can be distinguished by the types of tunnels they create. Since the moles' tunnels are visible atop the ground, they are the easier to identify of the two. Mole hills are circular with an exit hole in the middle, while gopher mounds are fan-shaped with an off-center hole.What you can do about it largely depends upon the state in which you live. On my friend's ranch in Montana, we went target shooting. Seriously though, the supplied link offers several solutions. Good luck.
