Kaput-D Pocket Gopher Bait
Kaput-D Pocket Gopher Bait
Kaput-D Pocket Gopher Bait by Scimetrics is an effective gopher bait which controls gophers with the help of a powerful active ingredient, Diphacinone. Kaput-D Pocket Gopher Bait is comprised of tiny red grains that will kill gophers on golf courses, lawns, rangeland and other areas without crops. This will eliminate gophers in as quickly as a week. Kaput-D also has an antidote in case non-target animals accidentally eat the bait. This product when applied right will kill your gopher infestation in about 3-5 days.
Tools Needed
Kaput-D Pocket Gopher Bait can be applied by hand, in underground bait stations, or with a Kaput-D gopher big boy applicator.
How to Use
- Step 1: Observe the pocket gopher runways that have been made on the property and calculate the size of the area in square footage (length x width = square footage) or acres (square footage/43,560 = acres). Wherever you see an open mound, that is their main runway. You can locate the main runway by using a rod or something similar to probe the mounds.
- Step 2: Using a pointed long metal probe once the gopher mound has been identified, create a small opening by sticking probe around the mound. Once the burrow has been penetrated and a deep opening has been created inside the burrow pull out the metal probe.
- Step 3: Apply the bait at a rate of 6 to 8 lbs. per acre. Using either a bait applicator, a teaspoon or a funnel, insert a 1/2 cup of product as far inside as possible inside the burrow. Then close the opening with soil being careful not to cover the bait.
- Step 4: Repeat application if fresh mound appears after 2 to 3 weeks.
Where to Use
This product for control of Pocket Gophers in and bordering crops (alfalfa, forage, hay, vegetables, and grains), in rangelands, orchards, and non-crop areas (forestry, plantations, golf courses, lawns and other turf areas, level/ditch banks, nurseries, parks and around agricultural buildings).
When to Use
Use Kaput-D Gopher Bait when you have discovered gopher activity. This can be indicated by seeing gophers themselves or the mounds they dig.
Safety Information
Kaput-D Gopher Bait is safe to use when applied according to label directions. Keep bait out of reach of children, pets or other unintended animals. Use gloves when handling the bait.
Special Considerations
While the bait can be applied by hand or shaking out from a container, you can optionally order/use a bait applicator or bait dispenser to apply the bait to gopher mounds and runways.

Keith's Pro Tips | "This product can be used, and should be used, in unison with the Kaput-D Big Boy Gopher Bait Applicator for easier application and to ensure the best possible placement of bait. Simply fill the bait holder and open the lever. The lever opens a door in the tip of the applicator. The bait slides down the tube and into the burrow, it's that simple!" |
Product Drawbacks | Some gophers may like a different bait, which is why we also have gopher bait worms which you can use to try and bait Gophers. |

Haven’t seen any sign of them in over 3 months !
I applied the product generously ( 4to 6 1/2 turns of the crank , more when a nest was found ) then raked the mound flat so I could easily spot new mounds in the morning .

Q:How long will this gopher bait last if applied by a gopher tunnel machine used in agriculture? (Gopher Machine)10/21/22A:Hello. I use this as soon as I see activity. If after one week I still see activity in the area I will apply more to the area of activity. Once activity ceases, the area should stay clear for a couple of months. Gophers don’t like to be in areas where other dead gophers are. Eventually after the dead gophers decay, new gophers will move in. This is by far the best solution for keeping gophers under control safely in my opinion. I have used this for years.

Q:I have tried everything under the sun on my ground squirrel invasion. They seem to love the poison bait. They come running from everywhere when I replenish the traps every other week. I think they hear the tractor and race to be first to the traps. There must be a way to eradicate these pest ground squirrels? Yes, I check the traps every other day and they never run out of bait, I see to that. Please help if you can. The only time they were eradicated is when I had a badger move in and an owl helped out. The owl and badger ran out of food and moved on but my Ground Squirrel problem returned the next year.4/3/20A:Hello, I like to mix a generic peanut butter with some bird seed with the Kaput-D. It seems to work really good on Wyoming, California and Golden Mantle ground squirrels. You never really eradicate them but this keeps them under control. I call it the DMZ zone. If I find a Badger I'll ship it your way. Good Luck, Denardo in Estes Park.

Q:how much do I need for 7 achers?1/4/20A:I have 6 acres. I only treat 2 to 3 acres. I might use one container a year depending on activity. I don't go out in the winter and treat anything unless its warm and I see activity.

Q:Do the gophers stay underground when they die?11/12/19A:Apparently yes. I've been using this product for a long time and never found a dead animal on the surface. I do notice a that new mounds stop appearing (at least until the next season of migrants shows up) which leads me to the conclusion that this stuff works quickly and well.
