Talpirid Mole Bait Rodenticide - Questions & Answers

One Talprid mole bait worm contains a lethal dose and can kill in 24 hours. 

Talpirid Mole Bait is one of our best sellers for mole control in your lawn. It is a worm shaped mole bait that mimics the mole's natural food. To achieve maximum effect, Talpirid Mole Bait should only be placed in areas used habitually by moles for feeding.  There is no specific shape of rod end if needed to puncture. Try to leave the area undisturbed as possible. 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. 1 Talpirid box (20 worms) is enough for two typical treatments Bait in unopened sealed box will last up to 1 year in controlled environment. Once opened, use within 15 days.

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 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 Mole Bait is only formulated and manufactured to work on the common species of mole, not mole crickets.  We recommend Niban Granular Bait or Advion Insect Granule Bait for that specific issue.
