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.
Tools Needed
Kaput Ground Squirrel Bait must be used in a secured, tamper-resistant bait station.
Do not use these implements used for baiting for mixing, holding, or transferring foods or feeds.
How to Use
- Step 1: Before using the Kaput Ground Squirrel Bait, you will need to determine where California ground squirrels are most active. Once you have determine this place 2 to 4 lbs. of the Kaput Ground Squirrel Bait per secured bait stations with a glove covered hand. Depending on the infestation, secure each loaded bait station 20 to 100 feet apart.

Q:will it kill regular fox squirrels?8/28/20A:I don't know. It took care of the California ground squirrels pictured on the product. My guess is it will work in the same manner with most rodents. My problem is that I can no longer buy it out here in this "protect everything from everything state" of California.

Q:Does it kills mice and rats?7/21/20A:It's not really formulated for mice and rats although the rodenticide ingredient should work on them. The best poison by far for mice and rats is JT Eaton Peanut Butter Bait Block, available also at this store. You should use a bait station when you use it. The rats will just run inside, eat it and then run off and die. You can also use a live trap, and I recommend baiting with apple pieces which they love.

Q:does this works for all squirrels or just ground squirrels?6/2/20A:In my area, there are only ground squirrels, no tree squirrels. Usually I put out enough bait in more than place. This will allow other squirrels to feed freely on the bait without being driven away by the dominant ground squirrels. After feeding on the bait, fewer squirrels will show up. Keep feeding until all of them are gone. But be on the watch because ground squirrels from the surrounding area will start moving into a vacant territory/yard like yours and re-populate your area.
