It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Do not apply to any site, to any pest, or by any method not specified on this label. This product may only be used to control moles and pocket gophers in manual, below ground applications in lawns. Bait must be applied directly into burrow systems. Do not apply in gardens and areas where food or feed may be contaminated. Do not apply this product by use of an artificial burrow builder. Not to be sold in individual containers containing more than 1 pound of product.

The presence of moles may be indicated by a network of surface ridges in the turf, by a series of conical mounds of earth pushed up from deep burrows, or by damage to flower bulbs.

Prior to treatment determine which burrows are active according to one of the following two methods. Either press down a small section of the tunnel or remove a one inch section of the tunnel’s roof. Mark these sections and recheck in 24 hours. The burrow is considered active if the flattened runway has been raised up or if the roof has been repaired. Only treat active burrows.

Carefully punch a hole in the top of active tunnels, drop a teaspoonful amount of Moletox II® and carefully close the hole with sod or stone. Do not collapse the runway again or allow loose soil to cover the bait. After a few days check to see if the burrows are still active according to one of the two methods described above. If so, repeat treatment.

Remove center plug from the conical mounds with aid of a long-handled spoon and drop a teaspoonful amount of Moletox II® into the underground tunnel. Close opening with rock or sod. Do not allow loose dirt to cover bait.

SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS FOR FLOWER BULB PROTECTION

Pack about one-quarter inch of soil against each bulb. Place several baits at sides of and around the bulb. Then cover.

SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS FOR POCKET GOPHERS

Burrowing pocket gophers (Thomomys spp and Geomys spp) throw out low, fan shaped mounds on either side of their underground tunnel. These lateral tunnels coming to the surface are on the flat side of the fan and are plugged with soil. With a long-handled spoon carefully remove the plug. Insert a teaspoonful of Moletox II® as far down as possible. Reclose opening, being careful not to cover bait with soil.

Wearing waterproof gloves, collect and dispose of all dead, exposed animals. Dispose of leftover bait in accordance with disposal instructions. Use detergent and hot water to wash spoons. Do not use spoon for mixing, holding or transferring food or feed.
