Checking sets and one of my dirt hole sets had fresh soil mounded up in a pile just over the hole, the trap bed area was undisturbed . It looked like someone dumped a half gallon of potting soil over the hole, very neat and uniform. No signs of digging around, it's like the dirt was brought from under ground. Would this be the work of mice ? I cleared the dirt, re bored the hole and re baited. Never seen this before. -Thanks

Gophers or moles?


Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
