Customer Reviews for Talpirid Mole Bait Rodenticide

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.

I have use this before but, of course, it is an ongoing situation. I wish there was a product that could kill them and they would come back. It is just really a bad situation that can't be remedy with treatment.

A very good product, just wish we could get a price break on it from time to time.

Last July and August it was extremely dry at my home in Indiana. I have a well just for watering my lawn which I was able to keep green. This also encouraged more worms to migrate to my lawn and more moles to leave the woods around my lawn searching for the worms. While on vacation many mole runs developed in my yard of about two acres. Using Talpirid the moles are gone. I check the area between my yard and the wooded area which surrounds my home every few days. If I see a run start to enter the yard I just us one worm or maybe two. No more mole run. This product has worked well for me.

This bait appears to also work well on moles. I'll explain what I do with this expensive but effective product. Order approximately 10 worms per mole. I have about an acre of grass over a 3 acre area. I used about 60 worms on what I estimated to be five moles (four and then one later populated an old run). As other reviews stated, cut the worms in thirds. The Talpirid site state “one feeding” so I'm guessing that 1 feeding might 1/3rd of a worm because this appears to work or it's finding and eating the other thirds too. Find a fresh mole mound. Use a ½” dowel or rod with a point to poke hole 6” to 12” away from the mound up to 2” – 8” deep until it suddenly gives during the poke (I actually use the rod of a gopher baiter because I have an orchard with gophers also). If you really have to lean on the rod, try a different spot. With time you will find the run mostly on the first try. When a run if found, leave the rod in the hole. Make the first cut of the worm in the middle of the smooth area of the worm. Then cut the longer section in half. Wearing gloves, use two pairs of long-nose pliers to cut and handle the worms and packaging. Carefully pull out the rod from the hole and drop a worm third into the hole. Pinch the top of the hole closed. Then poke around the opposite end of the mound (same distance) to see if you can find another run. If you can't find any obvious runs around the hole at all, poke into the center (sometimes at an angle) to see if you can feel a hole. Remove the dirt from the mound. Move to the next mound and repeat. In this way, there will be 1 to 2 worm-thirds around each mound. This procedure appears to work better than whole worms because it may increase the chance of the mole finding the worm while still delivering a lethal dose (if someone from Talpirid could commend on that I'd appreciate it). Most times I only need to treat once per mole, sometimes twice, and rarely three times. If a mound pops up a week or so later with no disturbances in between, then a mole has moved into your area. Poor mole. This product is easy to use, takes very little time, doesn't create a larger mess, and when moles decide to move into the area, the old bait might still be good and kill it before much damage is done. I've tried the exhaust from my car, the powers, the pepper powders, blood powders, and Talpirid traps. Nothing has worked except Talpirid worms. I just wish that they would try a lower price to see if the elasticity of the supply/demand curve resulted in higher profits!

Talpirid is the most effective mole control bait that I have ever used. I live at the edge of a 5 acre forest with many moles. Every year they have done considerable damage to my lawn. The dry pellet or granular poisons were not nearly as reliable in killing moles as Talpirid.

I've only put out about 5 and looks like they have been very effective.

It is the only way I have been able to control them, period!

Talpirid works well for my mole problem within a few days. It can be somewhat overwhelming to place all the baits, as I live along side of unimproved/rural land. After each application, however, the treatment works well until the next generation seems to show up.

After being frustrated with my usually successful scissor traps I ordered this product. The mole did not travel at the surface but made its tunnel deeper. The product works if you can get it in the tunnel and not disturb the area much. I went on line searching for tips and or videos on deep moles. I didn't find much, but enough to tell me to use a narrow gardening spade, and slip in the bait in the tunnel and lightly place the opening back together to insure no light. Definitely use gloves, and if the temp gets to the high 80's or if the worm bait is in the sun or left on hot pavement it will get gummy and it doesn't handle well. It would be helpful if this seller had some web sites of instruction or video to provide too. The product isn't cheap, and I used half the worms to get the mole(s). I'm happy!

I have used the Talpirid Bait two different seasons now.The bait, if used carefully, is pretty effective.

This product works pretty well, still have some tunnels still popping back up after several worms were put in the first tunnel in the same spots.

I have used this type of bait for moles for several years and it works. However, I find your price for the product is now a bit higher than two of your competitors.

I've been using this mole bate for quite a few years. Some years I have more success than other years. If the mole tunnel is in deep, healthy turf, I have found it more difficult to penitrate the tunnel. So, the easier the access to the tunnel, the more successful I have been. But I do believe that Talpirid is a good product to control moles.

I have been trying for years to get rid of the moles that are in my yard. I do alot of gardening and they seem to relocate to the places that are fertilized and have the most worms. I find it very convenient to bait the mole holes when I see them during gardening. So far I have always noticed that the holes become unused and I cover them over with mulch till the next time I notice more of them. Remember to always wear gloves when placing bait into the open holes.

This is the most effective bait for moles and other in-the-ground animals and pests. My gardener did the research and recommended this product. Just one treatment and the destruction to my lawn was removed. The price is steep, but the result is great.

Found a series of mole trails right near my newly planted veggies and flowers. Used the talpirid and several days later turned over a large pot and found a dead mole underneath. The hubs nicely removed it for me and congratulated me on getting the little critter.

This is the second time I've used the product and both times have had very good success. Have recommended it to others. Will use it again.

This stuff works. Problem is you have to keep at it if you have a persistant problem or multiple mole infestations.

No drama with this stuff. Moles left mounds of dirt without a discernible entrance/exit hole. I simply couldn't find an obvious place to bait. Doesn't matter; a half piece buried under a mound did the trick. 1 week later all activity has ceased! Powerful medicine!

First let me say if the cost was lower it would get a 5...That said, I've tried several other baits and poisons supposedly made just for moles. This one is the first one that made a marked dent after the first night. Before application, I knocked down all the hills- I'm dealing with 12 acres and there were literally hundreds of them! The next morning just after sunrise I went out and could quickly see where the active moles were by their new mound activity. I walked softly and carefully probed to find their tunnel about 6 inches back from the mound. I made a small hole with a little flat piece of metal, dropped in a worm and softly covered it over. The next morning 70% plus never came back. Then, like shampoo...repeat if desired...

We did not have a mole or even a family of moles. We had an entire invading army. We tried other things with no sign of progress toward elimination. Now having been persistent with the Talpirid we are seeing significant improvement. We recommend this product along with patience and determination.

Easy to use and works good too. Find the tunnel and put them in.

I have used before and will continue to use it, as it seems to be the most effective on controlling a mole problem.

I have used Talpirid for several years now and find it very effective at reducing the mole population. The longer it is used the more efficient it becomes.

I have been in the pest business for 34 years and have nothing that works on moles better than the Talpirid Mole Bait. I still occasionally will use the traps along with the bait.

Seems to be working. When I began using Talpirid I had many tunnels. I went out this AM and found only one. It could have been a new arrival. Also, I'm unsure of their hibernation schedule. It's still quite warm here and the grass has not started to go into it's Winter mode. One thing is for sure. Talpirid is far more effective than the pellets, windmills,and vibration gadgets.

The jury is still out. There were obviously multiple mole families. It is now Fall and there are only two families left. Seeing I live on a golf course, there may be new arrivals. It is difficult to rate this product considering the above.
