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
