Proven to Work

Talpirid Mole Killer is a worm-shaped mole bait scientifically proven to kill moles in lawns and gardens. Moles usually die in their tunnels. Moles can consume a lethal dose in a single feeding and die in as little as two days. Developed and tested on live, captured moles, Talpirid Mole Killer works where grain baits, repellents and a myriad of home remedies have failed. This revolutionary mole bait mimics the mole's natural food - the earthworm. Plus it contains special enhancers that attract moles.

Selection of Treatment Area

The presence of moles may be indicated by a network of subsurface runways in the turf or by a series of conical mounds of earth pushed up from deep burrows. Subsurface runways are indicated by raised ridges of vegetation and soil caused by moles foraging for food just below the soil surface. These runways are especially noticeable when the grass above them turns yellow. Conical mounds may be indicative of the location of deeper main underground runways.

Application Directions

Remove and place worm shaped bait according to included instructions following the advised safety precautions. Use your finger, small wooden dowel or a narrow rod to puncture a hole in the top of subsurface runways. Be careful not to crush runways. Mark opened runways and revisit them 48 to 72 hours later. Runways that have had holes resealed within 72 hours should be baited. Make a hole in the top of the runway with a rod slightly larger than the diameter of the bait. Drop one worm into the runway, using the rod to push any exposed bait completely into the runway. Carefully reseal the runway with a small amount of dirt to exclude light. Repeat bait application every 5 to 10 feet of each active subsurface runway. (Complete instructions included with product).

Determining Baiting Results

Talpirid has been specially designed to mimic the natural food sources of the mole. To achieve maximum effect, Talpirid should only be placed in areas used habitually by moles for feeding. Check for the effects of treatment 5 to 7 days after bait applicaiton using the same procedure for determining tunnel location. Return 48 to 72 hours later and retreat all active tunnel systems. Moles may consume a lethal dose in a single feeding, but it may take 2 or more days from the time of bait consumption for moles to die.
