DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a

manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Read this Label:

Read this entire label and follow all use directions and

precautions.

IMPORTANT: Do not expose children to this product or

use it for any purpose other than to control moles. To help

prevent accidents:

1. Store product not in use in a location out of reach of

children and pets.

2. Follow all application directions and Use Restrictions

on this label. Apply bait only in underground runways

of moles. Keep your pets out of treated areas and

isolate treated areas using existing fencing, if present.

3. Dispose of product container and unused or spoiled

bait as specified on this label.
USE RESTRICTIONS: This product may be used

only to control eastern moles (Scalopus aquaticus),

starnose moles (Condylura cristata), hairy-tailed moles

(Parascalops breweri), coast moles (Scapanus orarius),

broad-footed moles (S. latimanus) or townsend moles (S.

towsendii) on lawns, turf areas, golf courses and other

non-food grassy areas. Bait must be applied directly into

main underground tunnel or subsurface runways. Do not

place bait above the ground surface.

SELECTION OF TREATMENT AREAS: The presence of

moles may be indicated by a network of surface ridges in

the turf or by a series of conical mounds of earth pushed

up from deep burrows. Conical mounds may betray the

location of main underground runways.

BAITING: Prior to treatment, determine which burrow

systems are active. Using a round-ended wood rod,

such as a broomstick, probe ground in vicinity of conical

mounds or surface ridges until main underground runway

is detected by a sudden decrease in resistance against

the probe. Mark open burrow systems and revisit them

2-3 days later. For deeper tunnels, open system with a

shovel and leave open. Burrow systems that are active

are likely to be plugged by moles.

Treat only active burrow systems. To treat a burrow

system, locate main runways by probing. Remove the

cap from the tip of the applicator syringe to allow the

product to be injected into the burrow system. Inject

half of an ounce of bait (one-sixth of the contents of one

syringes) through probe or shoveled opened hole at each

bait placement location. Make six (6) such placements

per burrow system. Cover holes made to enter tunnel

with sod and soil, but do not allow dirt to sift in to foul

or cover bait. Check effects of treatment 4-5 days after

bait application by opening and marking burrows in the

manner used to check for initial activity. Return 2-3 days

later and retreat all active burrows. Maximum application

rate is 1 syringe/10,000 ft
