Know before you buy
Wilco Gopher Bait Type 2 uses Diphacionone, an anti-coagulant that prevents the gopher's blood from clotting. Because it is a slow-acting rodenticide, it is highly effective for subterranean pest control.
Pocket gophers can be picky eaters. The anise scent acts as a powerful attractant, which significantly increases the likelihood that the gophers will consume the bait over natural food sources.
No, the bait is designed to be compatible with standard gopher bait applicators. This allows you to easily place the grain directly into the gopher's tunnel system without needing specialized or proprietary equipment.
This product is specifically formulated and labeled for the control of pocket gophers. It is not intended for use against other rodents like rats or mice.
For the best results, you must locate the active tunnel system and place the bait directly into the main runway. Always follow the specific application instructions on the label to ensure the bait remains accessible to the gophers while staying protected from other wildlife.
