Customer Reviews for Talpirid Mole Bait Rodenticide

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 had a VERY stubborn mole in my yard. I had tried every option people told me about to get rid of moles. None of them worked. I put 15 of the Talpirid worms out. The mole was gone that same week. The product worked exactly as advertised, and very quickly! I would definitely use it again. It's expensive but well worth it if you don't want your yard and garden destroyed.

The worms are the best killer bait I have found so far. They are a little bit pricey.

So far, so good. The little buggers do come back though - or it's their off spring. Whatever, you do have to keep on top of it. The product does appear to be doing the job!

We have spent close to $1,000 trying to get rid of our moles. So far NOTHING has worked, or we must have an army of moles in our yard. My husband is furious over the condition of our yard. I wish there was SOMEBODY we could hire to get rid of them. Is the guy from Caddy Shack available? Maybe he could bomb the heck out of our yard and that would kill them all.

This year has been awful, I have dealt with moles in my vegetable garden, as have others, like never before. Thanks to Talpirid Bait, there are no more tunnels. One morning I found a dead mole on the surface near a tunnel opening. It was huge about the size of a small rabbit. I will continue to use this product as it is the only reliable means of contolling moles. I have tried the mole traps without ever nailing one.

Talpirid Bait is an excellent product that controls moles in an easy and safe way. I just flattened the mounds, wait a day or two, and when a see a reappearance of the mounds, I make a hole of about 1/4 inch wide and 3-4 in deep, drop a worm and wait a few days. I repeat this procedure a couple of times if necessary and that's it.

I used the bait as advertised, placed the worms in spaced portions of current mole tunnels, and within 4 days, the moles were no more. No more tunnels, no more mounds, no more worries for me! Thanks!

Your product seems to work the best out of the options we currently have available. The key is getting the education on when the best time to bait is. The product works, but like everything else, it does take time and persistance.

This is about as good as it gets for mole control. It is easy to use and seems to work, but as the mole community here is large and abundant I need to keep looking for new tunnels and to continue periodic baiting.

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!

It really works! I would highly recommend it. I just use 1/2 of a worm and it works great. That way a box lasts twice as long.

Been fighting mole problems for many years. Limited success with trapping. Until recently been paying $35 per mole for professional service. Very effective, but at 10-12 moles per year very expensive. learned about this product last season from local professional lawn and garden chemical store. Did pretty well last year with kill rate of about 6 moles per 10 worms. At cost of about $52/20 worms cost averaged just over $4 per mole. This year buying on-line for $44/20 worms. Talked to rep for Talpirid who gave good suggestions for improving success. Now kill rate averaging around 8 moles per 10 worms.

I have been using Talpirid Bait since 2002 when I lived in California for my moles. I now live in Oregon and I battle these little creatures here also. This bait is the only thing that has worked good for me. The bait looks like worms and seem to attract the moles. I live around 10 acres and have to feed them out and away from my property before they enter my grounds. So I probably use a little more than if I was just using it for a track house.

The only way to kill a mole...just remember to wear gloves!

Three weeks ago, I put the worms in the tunnels as instructed, no tunnela have re-surfaced, and no new tunnels have appeared. Product seems to work. More moles will return soon, so I'll be re-ordering.

Great stuff. The only product I have found to work on Moles.

Was this review helpful to you?  YesNo

Over a period of a week or so ,in 3 batches,20 worms were used in well established tunnels which were in use. No mole casualties were found. I followed directions and used clean surgical gloves. I am now starting to use traps. I found the design was poor. We have no worms or this proportion. The length and diameter make easy, clean insertion unnecessarily difficult and indeed doubtful. Worms of greater toxicity but about 1.25 inches long and of appropriately slim proportion could be dropped in to a finger diameter hole cleanly, easily and hopefully more effectively.

Had one mole, put 4 worms in run----never saw any further damage to lawn.

Cannot in good conscience give this product any stars - only gave it 1 star because the computer would not let me post with none! Perhaps I have too many moles as I see no difference in activity (bumps and holes in lawn) after treatment. Perhaps there are dead critters down there...I did not dig to find out. Sure wish I had my old cat - did not have this problem when she was alive! Perhaps I should have given the $43.99 to the local SPCA and adopted another feline!

This product is the best one I could ever find for getting rid of those little guys called moles. I recommend it to everyone who might have mole problems.

I have lived in the same place for 38 years. I noticed 4 years ago moles became very active in my yard approx 18,000 sq feet I tried everything I believe made.  I placed my first order fall 2010, after wasting my time and 1 box of Talpirids, I called your help line, asking about why I did not see any change, your CSR explained the way to check & mark tunnels to see if active or not, I saw results in 3 days. Great product.

Talpirid is easy to use and very effective, every time. Just follow the directions carefully.

This works the best of any product I've used to date. Unfortunately, because most of our moles have deep tunnels, I seem to have only a 50% success rate in controlling the critters.

We have a huge mole problem at our place because the neighbors are all uphill and seem to chase the moles down our way! We also have a woods on one side of us where they come in to plague us. We have used all kinds of stuff to get rid of them, but Talpirid really works. I will keep it on hand and then, by July we can enjoy our backyard!!! Don't hesitate to purchase this.

Used on 2 different jobs placing worms every 5 feet at each house. Ten days later moles still alive at both houses. I used once before with same results. Had to go back to traditional trapping. Wish I would have bid the job accordingly.
