Prairie dogs and gophers can be a huge concern for both small and large acreages. University research shows that both of these pests can create extensive damage, reduce grazing, create massive underground tunnels, and even carry diseases. 

​

The black-tailed prairie dog is listed as a designated pest in some states, including Wyoming. Many counties have implemented a cost-share program to help control prairie dogs.

​

Pocket gophers, a species of which inhabits virtually all of the United States, are powerfully built mammals that adapt will in most environments. 

​

Damage caused by pocket gophers includes destruction of underground utility cables and irrigation pipes. Tunnels of pocket gophers in banks of ditches and earthen dams can weaken structures, causing loss of water, piping through, and complete loss of a bank.
