GET RID OF MOLES

Talpirid Kill Moles Bait Active Ingredient: Bomethalin- 0.025% Features: TALPIRID, (Talprid) developed by Bell Laboratories, Inc., is the first and only mole bait designed, developed and scientifically proven to kill moles. Talpirid is Proven Effective Talpirid's active ingredient capitalizes on a mole's physiology. In both field and laboratory tests, Talpirid achieved outstanding acceptance and control. One Talpirid mole bait worm contains a lethal dose and can kill in 24 hours. Talpirid mole bait mimics a Mole's Natural Food Source Talpirid's size, shape and feel let moles consume the bait in the same manner as its primary food source, the earthworm. Special enhancers in Talpirid ensure immediate attraction and excellent product acceptance. NOT FOR SALE IN: CA,HI,AK,NC Bell Laboratories, Inc., introduces Talpirid, the first and only mole bait designed, developed, and scientifically proven to kill moles.n developing TALPIRID, Bell scientists studied hundreds of moles, meticulously gathering new and reliable information on the mole's unique biology and behavioral traits, such as activity level, breeding, and food preferences. As a result of this research, TALPIRID is now the ONLY product submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with "laboratory efficacy tests" on moles. Teams of researchers tested the bait's performance in field trials throughout the United States, examining its effectiveness on various moles species, different soil types and baiting conditions. Talpirid proved to be the most preferred food source for moles after earthworms. In fact, Talparid so closely mimics the mole's natural food that mole's respond to the bait in the same way as an earthworm, thus gaining its reputation as "the bottom line in mole control." Talpirid is proven Effective Talparid's active ingredient capitalizes on a mole's physiology. In both field and laboratory tests, TALPIRID achieved outstanding acceptance and control. Talpirid Mimics a Mole's Natural Food Source Talparid's size, shape and feel let moles consume the bait in the same manner as its primary food source, the earthworm. Talpirid mimics the mole's natural food source and has the same size, shape and feel as earthworms. One worm contains a lethal dose of bromethalin, an active ingredient that capitalizes on the mole's high energy demands. Talpirid works quickly and can kill in 24 hours. Special enhancers ensure immediate attraction and excellent product acceptance. Talparid is Ready-To-Use Talparid comes in a convenient tray of 10 worms which release freely from the tray, ready for immediate placement. Trays are individually sealed in a bag for ultimate freshness and maximum shelf life. Each box of Talparid contains two trays, enough for two typical treatments (20 worms - 2 trays of 10 worms). Selection of Treatment Areas 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 of Talpirid Mole Bait SUBSURFACE RUNWAYS: 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. ESTABLISHING INITIAL ACTIVITY: 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. BAITING ACTIVE RUNWAYS: 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 worm 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. DETERMINING BAITING RESULTS: Five (5) to 7 days after bait application, check for mole activity using the same procedure for determining initial mole activity. Return 48 to 72 hours later and retreat all active runs. CONICAL MOUNDS AND DEEP TUNNELS Moles construct deeper tunnels that are not visible from the surface. These deep tunnels systems are often marked by a series of conical mounds (piles of dirt) 4 to 12 inches high formed when dirt is pushed to the surface when moles construct these tunnels. To locate deep tunnels, push a probe, such as a broom handle, into the soil between mounds. When the probe enters a tunnel, the resistance on the probe will decrease rapidly. Mark opened tunnels and revisit them 48 to 72 hours later. Runways that have had holes resealed within 72 hours should be baited. To bait deep tunnels, drop one Talpirid worm through the probe hole, using the probe to push the bait completely into the tunnel. Cover the hole with a piece of sod, a small rock or a piece of newspaper to allow for visual inspection. Repeat bait application every 5 to 10 feet of each active deep tunnel and within 5 feet of each active conical mound. Check for the effects of treatment 5 to 7 days after bait application using the same procedure for determining tunnel location. Return 48 to 72 hours later and retreat all active tunnel systems. TALPARID USE RESTRICTIONS Talpirid may only be used in lawns, parks, around homes, golf courses, ornamental gardens, nurseries and other non-crop grassy areas to control eastern moles (Scalopus aquaticus,) star-nosed moles (Condylura cristata) or Scapanus spp. This bait must be applied underground in either main underground runways or in subsurface feeding tunnels. This bait may not be used above ground. Read and follow all label instructions. All mole baits need to be applied in the main underground runway or subsurface feeding tunnels. Don't use bait above ground. Use gloves when handling baits. Talpirid is Ready-To-Use TALPIRID mole bait comes in a convenient tray of 10 worms which release freely from the tray, ready for immediate placement. The Talpirid worm trays are individually sealed in a bag for ultimate freshness and maximum shelf life. Please read the label for more information..
