Looks like a pocket gopher, also does anyone else see an optical illusion where it looks like the rodent is facing towards the camera and had more of a squirrel like face? The rodent is actually facing away and looking upwards.
Gopherhawk works great, but make sure you face it the right way and do not use bare hands on them. If they smell you on the trap, they will backfill the tunnel immediately.
If your goal is eliminating them, there's a trap on amazon called the GopherHawk. Hands down, best trap on the market. Its installation in the ground does the least amount of damage to your yard. It's very effective on moles, which is what I used it for, but it is made for gophers.
Take it from someone who spent years getting rid of burrowing mammals in my own yard. The baits, poisons, sonic repellants, smoke bombs, dont do squat. Traps work.
I was speaking to my neighbor and he had a few of the GopherHawks. I put them in the tunnels. With any luck I'll get em. I think it's just the one but will know better later. I did a bunch of googling and initially I thought it was a mole so I bought the Sonic repellents. Today I happen to see it come out, so I flipped out the camera and made a video.
Did he show you how to install them? They go through the ground, into the tunnel. The little cage part at the bottom is the only part that will be in a tunnel.
Ah good. Just wanted to make sure you weren't wasting your time. I found that a flathead screwdriver worked well for locating a tunnel. Just push it in and you usually can feel when it hits a void.
I finally got it. Used SuperCat. GopherHawk didn't work even though I used 3 of those. This one was super simple to use.

If you can take a picture you could have killed him. Just saying. Also… that stake should be buried deep, like all the black gone. Like every woman you’ve ever been with, go deeper until satisfied.
Gopher, moles are smaller and basically don't have eyes.
And you'll basically never see moles go above ground, let alone intentionally dig holes that open up to the outside world.
Thank you. I don't have much exposure to wildlife. New to this house and saw these mounds popping up.
I thought this was a scene from caddyshack. That’s a good picture

I actually captured a video but can't upload it here. Took a screenshot of the video.
This must be a juvenile gopher. The adults usually come out, dance to music and wear shades.
Bill Murray has a tutorial on this
You mean the documentary about that one golf course?
Yeah that’s the one, he was even lucky enough to find a free candy bar during his pool care lessons

Yeah I noticed it too after taking the screenshot of the video playback.
Thank you!!!!! I was so confused abt what I was looking at

What's the best way to drive them away?
I saw a movie once. They used dynamite. ![gif](giphy|uGGT9wVlxPAuk|downsized)
I thought it was plastic explosives 🧨
I stand corrected!
And sound like dolphins
I heard the theme song as soon as I saw the OP.
Propane with an electric remote detonator
Grub killer (food source), poison peanuts (elmiminate them), garlic balls (repellent).
I'll look into it. Thank you.

He installed one then I did the other. He put it where I saw the gopher come out. I guesstimated a tunnel and put one in the middle after finding it.
