Talpirid Mole Bait Rodenticide - Questions & Answers

Talpirid, when used directed on the product label, will be applied to areas that will for the most part be inaccessible to non-target animals.  It will be poisonous to them if they do directly ingest the bait though and there is no antidote if this occurs.

Talpirid BAIT includes 20 x 5 gram worms.

Talpirid BAIT can harm or kill a dog if they have ingested enough of them.  If the one was not ingested she should be ok but you should always contact your vet for the best advice on what to look for and if any issues come up.

Each Talpirid BAIT worm weighs 5 grams and contains .025% Bromethalin.  A 50 lb. dog would have to eat multiple worms in order to ingest a fatal dose.  That being said, we do recommend preventing pets from digging the worms up and only using the worms in active runways so the moles are more likely to get it then a pet.

Talpirid BAIT is to be put into the burrows where the moles are traveling and not just applied to above ground areas.  This application will prevent poisioning of other wild life animals including the bunnies in your yard.  However, there is no guarentee that it wont harm the bunnies if they were to go into the burrows and eat the worms.  Be cautious of where you apply the bait.  The Talpirid BAIT will not harm the surrounding ground where they are applied.  Please follow the product label for proper application and handling of this bait. 

Talpirid Bait is safe for pets if used as directed. There is no odor that would cause them to dig them up. In most cases, the moles that consume the bait will die under ground in their tunnels eliminating the worry that animals or other predatory animals will eat the carcasses.

We do not sell Lesco brand products, however insecticides aren't useful unless you are treating for grubs or another Mole food source. We would recommend to use Talpirid Bait to use directly into active Mole tunnels. Read our Mole Treatment Guide for further information.

Talpirid, when used directed on the product label, will be applied to areas that will for the most part be inaccessible to non-target animals. In most cases, moles that consume the bait will die under ground in their tunnels, eliminating the worry that cats or other predatory animals will eat the carcass. Most well fed pets such as cats do not consume dead animals that they find, instead they tend to "play" with it. An animal the size of a cat would have to consume many dead moles for there to be any concern of secondary poisoning.

No, Talpirid Bait is labeled for moles only.

 

The Talpirid Mole Bait is meant to be used whole. We do not recommend cutting the worms into pieces because you may wind up cutting the bait into pieces that are not large enough to deliver a fatal dose of the poison to the moles. As long as the tunnels are active and you are following the Talpirid product label instructions, you should have success getting rid of the moles with this product.

Demon Max and Demon WP are only going to eradicate flying and crawling insects listed on the label. They will not kill moles. We do carry Talpirid Mole Bait that can be applied to active tunnels.
