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.

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.

 

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

 

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 lightly larger than the diameter of the bait. Drop one worm into the runway, using the rod to push any exposed bait 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 activity. Return 48 to 72 hours later and retreat all active runs.



If Talpirid doesn't seem to work:
Here are five things to consider.

1. Are you using gloves when applying the bait? 
Disposible rubber or Nytrile gloves are best.  Not using gloves may contaminate the bait with a human scent. 

2. Are you applying product before or after a heavy rain? 
Rain and humidity can break down the bait faster than normal conditions.

3. Is a chemical insecticide or fertilizer being applied to the lawn? 
Chemicals that are applied before or after (within a few days) of applying talpirid can affect the bait by contamination. Hence, the chemical gets on the bait by seeping through the tunnels.

4. Are you following the three step process that the package instructions/brochure indicate?

5. Are you baiting properly once you find the main active run?
If you bait without ever doing a test to find the active tunnel(s), than the bait may never be encountered and eaten by moles.  You can test for an active tunnel by following the steps outlined on the package instructions.

It is the best remedy for any mole problem by far. Tried trapping, gassing, have just placed sonic molechasers in yard.Will begin Dylox & Merit treatment shortly for the grubs they want for food.

1 of 1 people found this review helpful:   THIS REALLY WORKS By Djt on May 6, 2010 Do not try smokes bombs, poison peanuts or any other gimmick. The ONLY two things that work are traps and this. A couple of yrs. ago I used an in ground trap and caught one, but my yard is so big, I need more weapons:-) Within 2 days of putting 2 baits in two tunnels, NO MORE TUNNELS. You know what that means? This product worked! Was this review helpful to you?

Talprid Mole Bait By Park on July 12, 2010 Easy to use and effective. Don't collapse the tunnels until a few days after you treat an area. That provides a quick clear path to the bait. Was this review helpful to you?

Talpirid BAIT By Rudy on July 13, 2010 I've been using Talpirid Bait for moles for several years with a lot of success. I have a good size front and back yards and as soon as I see active tunnels I start applying the "worms". It might take a couple of applications but I can control the moles very well. It is an excellent product. Was this review helpful to you?

Moles don't have a chance! By Dave on July 14, 2010 Great product - moles are tricked by realistic texture and taste of worm. As little as one worm puts them out of commission! After trying all sorts of "sure mole destroyers", this is the ONE that works. Was this review helpful to you?

		Question about this product? Ask our product experts...

Q  What is the shelf life of Talpirid Mole Bait? A The manufacturer of Talpirid says that it will last over a year on the shelf if the tray has not been opened.  Once the tray is opened and the worms are exposed to air then they will not last over about 45 days.

Q  Does Talpirid work on cricket moles or worms? A Talpirid is only formulated and manufactured to work on the common species of mole, not mole crickets.  We recommend Niban Granular Bait or Advion Mole Cricket Bait for that specific issue.

Q  Can I use Talpirid Bait to get rid of voles? Today I stood and watched as the 3rd replacement tomato got pulled into the ground. They don't seem to be falling for the mousetraps I have set up. It's a desperate situation. A Talpirid mole bait is not labeled for the treatment of voles.  However, we do sell a product that is very popular for vole control called ZP rodent bait.  Many of our customers purchase this product and place it in the runs or down the entry holes.
