They have a light underside, and their tail is typically darker than the rest of their body. These animals are most active at night, so they can be difficult to see during the day. You can identify their burrows by the small, round entrance holes. Listen for their high-pitched squeaks, which they use to communicate with each other.

Some signs you may have grasshopper mice are if you see small holes in the ground or if you see droppings that look like a pellet of grass. If you live in an area with a lot of grasshopper mice, you may also hear them squeaking at night.
