 This product is a Restricted Use Product (RUP) and requires a Certified Applicator's License to purchase.

Kaput-D Prairie Dog Bait (Wheat), manufactured by Kaput Scimetrics, is a granular bait created for the control of black tailed prairie dogs and pocket gophers.

This product contains wheat as opposed to oats which is found in our other Kaput prairie dog bait product. This incredible product not only targets Prairie Dogs but it also affects their fleas, which is why is a killer combo for both these pests.

Kaput-D Prairie Dog Bait (Wheat) is a lethal and effective bait that will control gopher infestations efficiently.

Tools Needed

You can shake the product out of the container, hand-spread the bait, use a bait applicator, or use a scoop spoon. No matter what route you take, it's best to also put on gloves.

How to Use

• Step 1: Before applying this product you must first locate active prairie dog burrows and tunnels. You must do through visual observation. The openings of active burrows will generally be free of natural debris such as leaves, seeds, and spider webs. Active burrows will also have freshly turned earth, and feces nearby.
• Step 2: To apply this product by hand to treat prairie dogs and their fleas apply about ¼ cup (or approximately 2 ounces or 56 grams) of the product using waterproof gloves (our nitrile gloves should be perfect) deep into the burrow, at least 6 inches down. Make sure to not leave any bait on the soil or outside the burrow. After initial application make a second bait application approximately 6 days after the first application.
• Step 3: To apply this product with a prairie dog poison applicator apply about ¼ cup (or approximately 2 ounces or 56 grams) at least six inches down the active prairie dog burrow. The machine should penetrate deep into the burrow and apply the bait at least six inches underground. It should also be calibrated to only dispense the recommended about of bait into each burrow. After initial application make a second application approximately six days after first application..
• Step 4: Return to the site of application within 4 days after initial application and dispose of dead prairie dog bodies. Continue visiting the site at an interval of 1 to 2 days after the first visit. Bury carcasses at least 18 inches under the ground. Collect the bodies in the late afternoon, or near sundown, to reduce the potential of nocturnal predators from coming in contact with the infected bodies.
