Bell Laboratories Talpirid 


Product Description:


Talpirid is a professional-grade mole bait developed by Bell Laboratories, designed to effectively eliminate moles in lawns, golf courses, and other turf environments. Formulated with Bromethalin, a potent neurotoxin, Talpirid mimics the moles' natural diet of earthworms, ensuring high acceptance and lethal results within 24 to 48 hours.


Benefits of Talpirid:

  • Highly Palatable: Talpirid baits closely resemble real earthworms, a mole’s primary food source, ensuring quick acceptance and effectiveness.

  • Fast-Acting: Moles typically die within 24-48 hours after consuming a lethal dose.

  • Proven Efficacy: Field tests show over 90% success rates in controlling mole populations.

  • Weather Resistant: Designed to withstand soil moisture without losing potency.

  • Easy to Apply: Pre-formed, worm-shaped baits can be placed directly into active mole tunnels for targeted control.

Use Rates & Application:

  • Recommended Dosage: One worm-shaped bait per active tunnel.

  • Application Method: Locate active mole tunnels using a probe or by flattening existing runs and checking for activity within 24 hours. Once identified, place one Talpirid worm every 5-10 feet within the active tunnel.

  • Reapplication: If mole activity persists after 5-7 days, reapply in fresh tunnels.

Restrictions & Safety Considerations:

Restricted Use: Talpirid is for outdoor use only and should not be used near food crops or inside buildings.
Non-Target Species Caution: While designed for moles, ingestion by pets, birds, or other wildlife can be harmful. Use with caution in areas frequented by non-target animals.
Storage: Keep out of reach of children and pets. Store in a cool, dry place away from food and water sources.
Personal Protection: Wear gloves during handling and wash hands thoroughly after application.
Environmental Precautions: Do not apply near bodies of water or areas with high groundwater levels to prevent contamination.


Active Ingredient:

  • Bromethalin (0.025%) – A neurotoxin that disrupts ATP production in the central nervous system, leading to paralysis and death.

Talpirid is an industry-leading solution for professional and homeowner mole control, ensuring fast and reliable results with minimal environmental impact when used correctly.
