Talpirid Mole Bait

*We do not accept returns for this product!*

Talpirid may melt during transport in hot weather, particularly in the following southern states:

Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas.

If melting occurs, the bait can be reshaped to resemble worms without losing effectiveness or active ingredients.

Why Talpirid Mole Bait Is Top Rated

Talpirid Mole Bait is a mole bait designed, developed, and scientifically proven to kill moles. After much research and development, Bell Labs has manufactured Talpirid Mole Bait to closely resemble the earthworm (the mole's preferred food source). Talpird Mole Bait is also the only mole bait on the market that has submitted tests to the EPA with laboratory efficacy tests on moles.

Ready to use Talpirid Mole Bait has a unique size, shape, and feel that mimics a mole's natural food source, the earthworm, and its active ingredient capitalizes on a mole's physiology. Talpirid Mole Bait has achieved outstanding acceptance and control in field and laboratory tests.

Application

Outdoors and underground:

Create a hole in the top of each active tunnel using a rod slightly larger than the bait's diameter. Place a single worm into the tunnel and use the rod to ensure any exposed bait is completely inserted. Carefully cover the tunnel opening with a small amount of soil to block out light.

Repeat this baiting procedure every 5 to 10 feet along each active subsurface tunnel.

Selection of Treatment Areas

Establish Initial Activity:

To determine if moles are present, gently puncture holes in subsurface runways using your finger, a small wooden dowel, or a narrow rod. Take care not to collapse the runways. Mark the locations of the tunnels and check them again after 48 to 72 hours. If the holes have been resealed within this time, it indicates recent activity, and those tunnels should be baited.

Moles create subsurface runways characterized by raised ridges of soil and vegetation where they forage just below the surface. These ridges become more noticeable when the grass above them turns yellow. Additionally, conical mounds of earth may indicate the location of the main underground runways used by moles for travel and nesting.

Conical Mounds:

Moles create deeper tunnels underground that aren't visible from the surface. These tunnel systems often result in conical mounds, which are piles of dirt typically 4 to 12 inches high. These mounds form when moles push dirt to the surface while constructing tunnels. Use a probe, such as a broom handle, to locate these deep tunnels between mounds. When the probe enters a tunnel, you'll feel a sudden decrease in resistance.

Deep Tunnels:

To bait deep tunnels, insert one Talpirid worm through the probe hole and use the probe to ensure the bait is fully inserted into the tunnel. Cover the hole with sod, a small rock, or a newspaper for easy inspection. Repeat baiting every 5 to 10 feet along each active deep tunnel and within 5 feet of each active conical mound.
