I need to find out if these mounds are being made by pocket gophers or moles or what. I know this will seem obvious & silly to many but I just moved to north Fl. from the far southern coastal area of Fl. & am not familiar with these creatures as I never had any down there. Can you guys please look at these photos & tell me what is causing them? In the first photo I put my foot there to demonstrate the size of the mounds. they range around 9-10" in height. Thank you.

Those are gopher mounds. A curse on the southern states. Sad We have them here, too. Nobody I know has figured out how to deal with them except to poison the entire pasture.

First thing I checked was to see if they were fire ants --- I DO know about those.

Thanks for the I.D. Dave.
