APPLICATION DIRECTIONS FOR POCKET GOPHERS**: Apply bait to
control pocket gophers** using one of the two methods outlined
below:
Plug Removal Method/Baiting:
Burrowing pocket gophers** (Thomomys spp. and Geomys spp.)
throw out low, fan-shaped mounds on either side of their underground
tunnel. These lateral tunnels coming to the surface are on the at side
of the fan and are plugged with soil. Using a long-handled spoon,
carefully remove the plug. Insert one teaspoon of bait as far down as
possible. Reclose opening, being careful not to cover bait with soil.
Main Runway Method/Baiting:
To locate main runways, probe about 6 to 8 inches away from
mounds by use of an iron bar, a strong stick, or other suitable
implement. Resistance on probe will drop suddenly and probe will
fall about two inches when main runway is entered. Carefully
enlarge the opening to accommodate insertion of the bait. Insert one
teaspoon of bait into each active tunnel. Carefully close the hole with
a stone, sod, or soil. Take care not to cover bait with soil.
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS FOR MOLES*: The presence of moles
may be indicated by a network of surface ridges in the turf, and/or
by a series of conical mounds of earth pushed up from deep burrows.
Surface Ridges:
Prior to treatment, determine which burrows are active according to
one of the following two methods. Either press down a small section
of the burrow or remove a one-inch section of the burrow’s roof.
Mark these sections and recheck in 24 hours. The burrow is
considered active if the attened burrow has been raised up or if the
roof has been repaired. Only treat active burrows. Carefully punch a
hole in the top of an active tunnel, drop a teaspoonful amount of this
product into the burrow and carefully close the hole with stone or
sod. Do not collapse the tunnel again or allow loose soil to cover the
bait. After a few days check to see if the moles are still active as
described under “Surface Ridges” above. If so, repeat treatment.
Conical Mounds:
Remove center plug from the conical mounds with a long-handled
spoon and drop a teaspoonful amount of this product into the
underground runway. Close opening with stone or sod. Do not allow
loose dirt to cover bait.
FOLLOW-UP: Wearing waterproof gloves, collect and dispose of
dead, exposed animals. Dispose of leftover bait in accordance with
disposal instructions. Use detergent and hot water to wash spoons
used for application into burrows. Do not use spoon for mixing,
holding or transferring food or feed. If reinfestation does occur,
repeat treatment.

all risks of use, storage or handling of this product not in accordance
