Studies have shown single feeding control. Generally, it's used in a multi-feed format by the homeowner or professional.
Baiting is easy and highly effective. University studies reveal Moles readily accept the pelleted bait throughout the year, even more readily during the winter months because
of limited insect and worm populations available in the upper soil profile. Moles do not go dormant, as do certain
squirrel species.
Enhanced palatability produces second generation anticoagulant results. Vitamin K-l is the effective antidote
in the event of accidental consumption.
This product may be used only in lawns, golf courses and other turf areas to control eastern moles (scalopus
aquatios) star-nosed moles (Condylura cristata), or (Scapanus app.) moles that occur in the Western US. This bait
must be applied under ground and must be applied manually. This product contains a slow-acting poison. Several
treatments may be necessary to control mole infestations.
Subsurface runways are detected as raised ridges of vegetation and soil caused by moles foraging just below
the soil surface. These ridges are especially noticeable when grass on top of them yellows. Apply bait to each
active runway identified. Using a 1/2-inch diameter dowel or metal rod (or other suitable implement) make a small
opening in the top of the runway.
Moles may also construct deeper tunnel systems 4-5 inches below the ground surface. Such deeper tunnel systems
are betrayed by the presence of conical mounds. Resistance on the probe decreases abruptly once the tunnel is entered.
To bait deeper tunnels, probe until a tunnel is located. Enlarge the probe hole as needed to accommodate the passage of bait. Not for sale in AK., AR.,CO.,HI., ID., MT., NV., NM.,NC.,DC., or WY.
