Kaput Ground Squirrel Bait
Kaput Ground Squirrel Bait
Kaput Ground Squirrel Bait, manufactured by Kaput, is a powerfully formulated granule product to eliminate and control California ground squirrels infestations, and their fleas as well.
This easy to use squirrel killing bait uses the active ingredient Diphacinone 0.0025% and Imidacloprid 0.0250%, which works to cause blood clotting in squirrels and paralysis in fleas resulting in a fast death for both pests.
Kaput Ground Squirrel Bait is a easy-to-use bait that has a highly palatable oat-based formulation that competes well with the squirrel's natural food sources.

Kaput Ground Squirrel Bait must be used in a secured, tamper-resistant bait station.

I expected the product to arrive in 50 pound pails as shown in your online store posting. Instead they arrived in bags which are difficult to store, and I question whether they will have a good two year shelf life. I would have preferred the re sealable pails. If that is not possible, I suggest you change the picture on your product catalogue to show them in bags.
Thanks for your review, your feedback, and for shopping with us!

Q:do you need applicators license in wa state?7/2/21A:I purchased the product for use in California and for homeowner use there is not an applicator license required. If an applicator license isn't needed in California, the most over regulated state in the nation, I doubt if one wold be needed in WA.
