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.

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.

Q:Will this attract rats or mice?5/16/21A:I’m not sure if it will attract rats or mice, but I can say for certain that it kills squirrels ????. I had a terrible squirrel problem with them eating everything in my garden, but after using squirrel bait my problem was solved. Squirrels eat the bait and fill their cheeks up with the bait to take back to their burrows where others can eat it too. I’m sure if it can kill the squirrels it will have the same effect on other animals. I would advise not to use it in areas where your pets can get it.

Q:Have a deep squirrel burrow and used this product earlier but still seeing activity. Any suggestions? When is the best time of year to put poison out?12/29/20A:I use bait traps for ground squirrel control. I typically see them in spring through summer (in California), They disappear in late fall and winter. I keep the bait rap full and will see the ground squirrels come and go. but they may disappear for a few weeks and then return. Seems you have to be diligent and keep the bait in the trap at all times. I expect to see them again in the spring. Good luck.
