BONIDE PRODUCTS INC 1 LB MOLETOX, Mole & Gopher KILLER

My yard was riddled with mole tunnels after planting new grass and heavy watering to keep the new grass growing. I am told that watering brings worms and moles. I ordered the 1 lb. container and poured it into the active tunnels over a period of 3 or 4 days. Using a 1/4" x 16" thick twig I pulled off a tree, being careful not to touch the "digging" end, I put 2+ tablespoons into each hole (I just dumped some in, eyeballing it), making 4 or 5 holes per day around the yard. I covered the hole by pushing a little dirt over the hole with the stick. Now a little over a week later, no moles! Gone completely. I even ordered from Amazon two cinch traps and some of the poison worm baits, 3 days into the process of using the Moletox II, thinking it would take something more. Now I have 2 cinch traps and some bait I don't need. About 1/4 or less of the 1 lb. container remains, approximately. I for one, can vouch for this stuff. It is easy to use, it worked well for me and it works fast and it is a lot cheaper than just about everything else that I saw on Amazon, overall.

Am not sure if I'm killing moles or not, but do know that I'm highly irritating them. I carefully bait active mole runs, so as to minimally tamper with the run, and within a day or so usually find the earth highly churned where the mole has come across the bait. Again, am not sure if the earth is churned by a "fast working" bait killing the creature, or if the mole is simply trying to remove the material from their run. Either way, they tend to vacate those runs for a period of time. Getting rid of all the moles in the yard is an on-going process, but this does seem to be either "thinning the herd", or encouraging them to move on. Either way, I'm happy. The only reason that I'm not giving this five stars is because I'm not able to see evidence of their demise, but only evidence of their absence, and I'd rather end the beasts than force them to my neighbors' yards.

OK, I used to be a fan of traps. I was able over the past few years to trap the 2-3 gophers per year that hit my yard. It was troublesome setting traps, but when successful satisfied an animal-urge. It was gratifying to KNOW I got the lil' bugger. Problem was that I didn't have success re-using traps, oh well.That was until this season. After a few failed trap attempts I was in trouble. I was training this guy. I ended up trying 4 different styles of traps, and spent time researching how to properly set them wearing gloves and so forth. No luck. Only a bunch of half buried traps. I had a bottle of this stuff in my garage but hadn't used it with any level of effort because of my desire to confirm the "kill".Well, After calling exterminators and not being able to find someone to come by I decided to try the bait. Last resort kind of thing. BUT, I did a thorough job of baiting this time (call me a master, hehe). I used a long screwdriver to locate tunnels near mounds, used a funnel to add bait into the tunnel, and then top off the small hole with a dirt clod. I did approximately 20 spots in my lawn. I think I may have 2 distinct gophers.2 days later, I went inspecting my lawn AFTER my sprinklers had run and noticed 2 holes that were still open. Odd, perhaps the lil bugger was airing out the place after the sprinklers hit. But then 8 hours later they were still open. VIOLA! Got Him! This, to me was 99% proof. Well, 2 days later what do I find rotting on my lawn? You betcha. Thank you Moletox!I now have the yard butler in the mail to make future baitings easier.Chris

I have been battling gophers for years. I know them very well. I’ve trapped them and used bait solutions to control their population on my acreage.I followed the instructions on this product’s label exactly. The bait was placed in the correct locations in main underground tunnels, and a generous amount of product was placed at each set location. After being out of town for 10 days, I returned to find my yard overrun with new gopher mounds. I set bait locations in a dozen different areas on my acreage. Each gopher territory received multiple bait sets. None of them worked. I have to assume the bait is effective in killing gophers if the gophers actually consume the bait. My guess is that they hate the way it smells or tastes. They did not eat it.I did have better luck with some voles, but overall would not recommend this product. It was an extreme waste of my time and money, and I now have a lot more damage in my yard.

The product is great! What I have a problem with is the drivers do not ring my doorbell nor knock on the door to tell me my package has been delivered. I would appreciate it if that would happen to avoid "porch pirates." Below it says that you will do that: (but not at my house)To avoid disturbing you, our drivers will knock on the door, ring the doorbell, or directly contact you for delivery only between the hours of 8:00 am - 8:00 pm local time.

I live on a farm. I'm surrounded by almond and pistachio orchards, so there is a serious gopher problem here. Last year, I paid three hundred dollars to exterminate them with carbon monoxide after traps and gas bombs proved ineffective.This year, I decided to try this product. I put about a tablespoon into each gopher tunnel entrance. I've found that for anything to be effective, you have to treat all the entrances at the same time.I put it out yesterday, and today I found only two new entrances. I added some grain to those. It looks like the gopher population is much less today than it was yesterday. This product is more effective than the gas bombs I've been using.Addendum: I'm on my second container of this grain. I've been battling gophers for three years, and I have now almost eliminated them. Be aware, though, that dead or dying gophers may appear on your lawn. If you have an animal that would eat them, use caution.
