Gophers In Our Yard?

We live in South East Wisconsin near Milwaukee and have noticed hundreds of holes in our yard all of a sudden...they don't appear deep, almost like divet? Could this be caused by gophers?

They certainly could. You might want to have a local lawn specialist check it over to be sure, and then follow the recommended procedure for your area. Your agricultural extension agent may also be able to help you diagnose the problem.
