Moles are insectivores that
prefer solitude except during mating season and actively forage year
round in their below ground tunnel systems. They execute similar daily
patterns for accumulation of energy derived from soft-bodied insects,
worms, and vegetative matter.
Moles may be distinguished from
meadow voles, gophers, and shrews by their naked, pointed nose that
extends well in front of the mouth. Small eyes and ears are concealed
by fur. Their spade like forefeet are wider than they are long.
Discharged mounded soil and heaved runways are indicators of this
pest's presence.
Mole Patrol is a ready to use
pelleted bait designed specifically to be accepted by moles. This
highly palatable bait has unique attractants proven effective for the
mole, notorious for its very cautious eating manner of what it eats,
especially baits.
Brief but descriptive instructions that will not challenge or confuse the end user.
RCO Mole Patrol blends
ChlorophacinoneT, a historically sound toxicant (anti-coagulant) that
has performed well in field and structural baiting applications for
many years. The pellet is stabilized with SustaneT for extended shelf
life. The product of choice in commercial baiting projects as well as
homeowner use.
Studies have shown single
feeding control. Generally, it's used in a multi-feed format by the
homeowner or professional. Baiting is easy and highly effective.
University studies reveal RCO Mole Bait controls moles.
Moles readily accept the
pelleted bait throughout the year, even more readily during the winter
months because of limited insect and worm populations available in the
upper soil profile. Moles do not go dormant, as do certain squirrel
species.
Enhanced palatability produces
second generation anticoagulant results. Vitamin K-l is the effective
antidote in the event of accidental consumption.
RCO has its roots going back to
the Mid 40's in research and development of working baits for
Agriculture and Specialty markets in the Western United States.
Packaged in Child Resistant Containers. Product Sizes: 8oz./12cs; 16oz./12cs; 48oz./6cs; 80oz./6cs; 251b.
This product may be used only
in lawns, golf courses and other turf areas to control eastern moles
(scalopus aquatios) star-nosed moles (Condylura cristata), or (Scapanus
app.) moles that occur in the Western US. This bait must be applied
under ground and must be applied manually. This product contains a
slow-acting poison. Several treatments may be necessary to control mole
infestations.
Subsurface runways are detected
as raised ridges of vegetation and soil caused by moles foraging just
below the soil surface. These ridges are especially noticeable when
grass on top of them yellows. Apply bait to each active runway
identified. Using a 1/2-inch diameter dowel or metal rod (or other
suitable implement) make a small opening in the top of the runway.
Moles may also construct deeper
tunnel systems 4-5 inches below the ground surface. Such deeper tunnel
systems are betrayed by the presence of conical mounds. Resistance on
the probe decreases abruptly once the tunnel is entered. To bait deeper
tunnels, probe until a tunnel is located. Enlarge the probe hole as
needed to accommodate the passage of bait.
