TALPIRID MOLE BAIT
Kills Moles in 24 Hours Free Shipping
Bell Laboratories, Inc.,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."
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.
Talparid Mole Trap
Lawn damage caused by moles plagues homeowners and lawn care specialists alike. Seldom seen as they tirelessly tunnel underground, moles leave their telltale marks aboveground as unsightly "mole hills", mounds of soil, or grassless brown streaks.
To address this problem, Bell Laboratories introduces its new TALPIRID Mole Trap, a heavy-duty, dual-spring trap designed for use by the professional pest control market. TALPIRID Mole Trap offers professionals speed and safety in servicing mole accounts. This specially designed "hands-free" mole trap is fast and easy to place and set.
After identifying and properly preparing an active mole tunnel, simply place the trap jaws in the active mole tunnel and step on the trap's yellow foot pedal which sets the trigger below the surface. Once set, the low-profile TALPIRID Mole Trap sits close to the ground - no bulky metal or equipment sticking out of the ground. The trap's dual springs ensure maximum catching power. When a mole encounters the underground trigger, the yellow pedal springs up making notification of capture easy and safe.
Captured moles are released by removing the trap from the ground and compressing the pedal by hand. Using the safety release button, the trap can be easily and safely disengaged and relocated to other mole tunnels, depending on mole pressure. TALPIRID Mole Trap can be used over and over again.
Made of glass-filled nylon, TALPIRID Mole Trap will not rust and can be used in all types of soil.
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.
