• 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.

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.
