Martin's Gopher Bait 50 (Strychnine)
Martin's Gopher Bait 50 (Strychnine)
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 a economic value.
This ready to use granular bait can be placed directly in active burrows or tunnels of pocket gophers. Formulated with the active ingredient Strychnine Alkaloid 0.50% to effectively get rid of pocket gophers and consists of special flavoring to attract this pest for a quick elimination.
Martin's Gopher Bait 50 is applied underneath the soil to ensure only gophers can access the bait and eat it. After the gophers ingest the bait, they will die within just a few short 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

Q:What if I can't get to the tunnel it's under building?7/6/21A:I have had several gophers under my foundation with only a couple of mounds of dirt showing. So, I made about a dozen injections of the bait spaced about 1 foot apart with the dirt mounds in the middle area of the injections. Also, I put the point of the injector right against the foundation. No more gophers at that location now, but a few new ones move in every year from neighbors so gopher eradicating is an ongoing project.
