There
are seven North American mole species: the eastern mole, hairy-tailed
mole, star-nosed mole, broad-footed mole, Townsend's mole, coast mole,
and shrew mole. The most wide-ranging is the eastern mole, which is
found from eastern Texas, north to southern South Dakota and eastward
to the Atlantic Ocean.
-
Moles
have a hairless, pointed snout and small eyes. The photo on the home
page is that of an eastern mole. These animals are insectivores and
feed primarily on grubs and earthworms. For the most part, moles live
in seclusion and underground burrows and rarely come to the surface.
These mammals are solitary and rarely do more than 2 or 3 moles occupy
the same burrow system.
-
Moles
have a very high metabolic rate and, therefore, have to consume large
amounts of food. The home range of these insectivores is almost 20
times larger than that of a pocket gopher. Our experience in studies
of moles on golf courses has shown that an infested area will contain
about one mole per acre. Because of the extensive tunneling and length
of the tunnels, it may appear that many moles occupy an area.
-
Moles
dig elaborate tunnel systems and have feeding runways barely beneath
the grass. That is why a mole on a golf green can stick out like a
sore thumb. The ridge is elevated and easily visible. The tunnel
system will have many yards of traveling tunnels within several inches
of the ground surface. As the weather cools, moles will retreat into
their deeper tunnels, up to 5 feet beneath the surface.
-
Moles
tend to be very aggressive and will kill and consume voles or mice
that may venture into their tunnels. Numerous studies have been
conducted on the food habits of moles. The mammal will consume about
85% of its body weight in food daily. A study on eastern moles
revealed that the majority of food found in the stomach contained
white grubs and earthworm. Beetles, beetle larvae, and other larvae
were also present. Ants, wasps, flies and other various insects were
also noted.
-
For
the most part, moles prefer moist soil with high populations of grubs
and earthworms. That is why moles are often a menace on golf courses
and lawns. As you fertilize and care for grass, this attracts worms
and grubs, which in turn attracts moles and provides a food base for
the mammal.
-
Moles
are not social animals. The gestation period for moles is about 42
days and they have an average of 5 young in March to April. Because of
their behavior, moles have few predators. It is a rare occasion to see
a mole as it moves near a tunnel entrance.
-
For
the most part, a mole bait has been used in killing moles. Most are
ineffective in gaining mole control, since most of these products contain grain-based material.
The food habits of animals dictate the mole control bait type. We have maintained
moles in captivity by feeding the animals wet cat food. Because of our
studies we have been able to determine which mole bait additives are best
preferred by moles and have incorporated them into the formula.
If
you think you have a mole problem in your yard there is a simple technique
to determine if a mole is the menace. Take the end of a broomstick and
force it into the surface tunnel of the mole. Within 1-2 days if a mole is
inhabiting the burrow, the hole will be neatly plugged with fresh dirt.
Mark the spot where you punch the hole into the tunnel so you can be
certain to locate where you punched the hole. If there is a mole present,
then click on the label tab and follow the baiting instructions for Kaput®
Mole Gel Bait & Adios Mole Killer ™
Product
contains 0.025% warfarin in a flavorful gel formulation. The first of
"its"
kind to kill moles. This product is easy to apply, effective

studies on golf courses in St. Louis, Mo, and Simmons Pest Management AKA
(Critter Ridders) in Memphis showed the product to be effective obtaining
mole control. This patented delivery system is unique. The mole
bait has the flavor to attract and is effective
in killing moles.
Instructions
(users Guide)
Step 1. Locate fresh mole activity
Step 2. Moles feed on grubs and earthworms found in the roots of
grass.
Locate a fresh tunnel near ground surface.
Insert syringe in roof of tunnel.
Step 3. Inject 1/2 ounce of Kaput®
or Adios Mole Killer ™ Bait, as marked on the plunger,
at 6 different locations in the same tunnel, approximately 25 feet apart.
Tip from Critter Ridders of Memphis.
When pushing the syringe in the surface run. Be careful not to push to far
& hit bottom.
Bait needs to flow freely without obstruction of mud in the tip.
Small young moles will make very narrow pathways .

A
Word About The Safety Issue of Kaput Mole Bait & Adios Mole Killer ™
Three independent companies tested the product and found it to be over 90%
effective against wild moles. The Gel Bait Formula has an antidote and the
moles cannot push it back through the surface soil exposing it to be in
harms way of children and pets. A responsibility to non-target wildlife,
pets and especially children is a core value of the Semetrics Corp.
(Manufacturers of Kaput), so warfarin is the active ingredient in our mole
gel bait. We will not sell nor produce products that have no antidote. We
chose the gel formula because it is simple to apply (just inject and toss)
and because moles cannot push the bait up and out of the tunnels. That
problem has occurred with some of the other brand baits on the market.
