Know before you buy
The bait uses diphacinone, which works by preventing the gopher's blood from clotting. Because it is an anticoagulant, it typically requires the gopher to consume the bait over several feedings to be effective.
For best results, use a gopher probe to locate the main tunnel system and deposit the bait directly inside. You can also use bait stations or hand placement, provided the bait is kept secure from non-target animals.
Monitor the area for fresh mounds after the initial application. If you see new activity within two to three weeks, you should reapply the bait to maintain control.
Yes, this product is classified as a Restricted Material Product in California. If you are located in that state, you must adhere to specific local regulations and application requirements.
The bait is available in both winter wheat and milo grain bases. Both are effective carriers for the active ingredient, so you can choose the one that is most readily accepted by the gophers in your specific region.
