Martin's Gopher Bait 50, manufactured by CSI, is a specially treated grain that uses a fast-acting powerful bait made with strychnine alkaloid 0.50% to poison nuisance gophers in and around your yard. One pound of bait will treat between 1 to 8 acres, offering greater gopher control at an economic value.
This ready-to-use granular bait can be placed directly in pocket gophers' active burrows or tunnels. It is formulated with the active ingredient Strychnine Alkaloid 0.50% to effectively eliminate pocket gophers and contains special flavoring to attract this pest for quick elimination.
Martin's Gopher Bait 50 is a first-generation rodenticide applied underneath the soil to ensure that only gophers can access and eat the bait. After the gophers ingest the bait, they die within a few hours. Using Martin's Gopher Bait 50 will ensure that gophers are eliminated and no longer wreaking havoc on lawns, farms, or ranches.
Tools Needed
To make applications, a metal rod is needed to find the gopher tunnels, and a shovel is needed to remove dirt and place it back over the tunnel. A long-handled spoon or bait applicator can also apply the bait.
This product cannot be applied with a mechanical burrow builder.
How to Use
- Step 1: Remove the burrow plug from the flat side of the burrow fan or locate the main runway by probing with a metal rod or wooden stick. The probe's resistance will decrease when you are on the main runway.
- Step 2: Apply 1 teaspoon of Martin's Gopher Bait 50 to each burrow system, using a long-handled spoon if necessary. One pound of this product will treat 1 to 8 acres, depending on the number of burrow systems to be treated.
- Step 3: Cover the tunnel with soil without disturbing it. Do not permit soil to cover bait. If new gopher activity is noticed, retreat according to the above directions.

Martin's Gopher Bait 50 should only be used in subterranean applications in rangelands, pastures, croplands, and non-crop areas.
Do not apply directly to food or feed crops. Nor should this product be applied above ground over crops or anywhere else.
When to Use
