Moletox II Label Moletox II MSDS This product may only be used to control moles and pocket gophers in manual, below ground applications in lawns. 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. 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 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. For treatment of Conical Mounds 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. 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. Cover opening, being careful not to cover bait with soil.
