Talpirid Mole Bait
Talpirid Mole Bait is a lethal rodenticide shaped in earthworm-like molds that attract moles to the bait and die within 48 hours after eating the bait. Even when earthworms are available, moles will be drawn to the bait.
10/06/25
Talpirid Mole Bait, manufactured by Bell Labs, is a lethal neurotoxin bait designed to eradicate moles. Its active ingredient, bromethalin, kills moles within 24 to 48 hours after consumption.
This product is formulated to attract moles, even when real worms are available. It is molded to look like earthworms, which are moles' main food source. Moles can consume a lethal dose of this product in one setting, causing them to die underground.
Talpirid Mole Bait eliminates moles without messy or complicated traps and is safe to use in tunnels found on home lawns.
Depending on the weather during transit, it may get hot and the worms may melt. if this happens, get a bowl with ice-cold water and put the tray that they come in a plastic bag to restore them back to their original shape. We highly recommend using disposable gloves when handling and placing the Talpirid worms so you do not contaminate them with your scent.
Tools Needed
To apply this bait, a shovel or dirt removing the tool, pole or wooden dowel, ground markers, or flag markers are needed.
The pole will assist in finding active mole tunnels, and the flags will help find the holes later when applying bait. It would help if you also used gloves when placing bait so your personal scent doesn't get on it and confuse the moles or cause them not to want to consume it.
How to Use
- Step 1: Inspect the yard for moles by taking a pole or dirt-penetrating object and poking holes in the ground 5 to 10 feet apart where the mole tunnels are suspected. Place a flag marker near the holes made to keep track of the hole for bait placement.
- Step 2: Check the holes within 1 to 2 days. If they are covered back up, that means they are active. Dig new holes 1 to 3 feet on both sides of the original hole and place 1 Talpirid Mole Bait worm in each new hole. Cover the hole with dirt.
- Step 3: Check the holes for plugs to be sure the moles ate the bait. Moles will die in the tunnel and decompose underground within 48 hours.
- Step 4: Stomp down the runs and collect the lawn markers to finish up.
Where to Use
Talpirid Mole Bait is to be applied inside mole tunnels only. The bait can kill moles on golf courses, residential lawns, ornamental gardens, parks, and more.
Do not leave mole bait in areas where it can be obtained by pets or innocent wildlife. Do not apply mole bait above the ground.
When to Use
This product can be used when active mole tunnels have been confirmed on residential, agricultural, or commercial landscapes.
