SURFACE RIDGES: 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 andrecheck in 24-hours. The burrow is considered active if the flattened runway has been raised up or if the roof has beenrepaired. Only treat active burrows. Carefully punch a hole in the top of active tunnels with pointed end of cone, drop in ateaspoonful and carefully close the hole with sod or stone. Do not collapse the runway again or allow loose soil to cover thebait. 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.

CONICAL MOUNDS: Remove center plug from the conical mounds with the aid of a long-handled spoon and drop ateaspoonful amount of this product into the underground tunnel. Close opening with rock or sod. Do not allow loose dirt tocover bait.

SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS FOR POCKET GOPHERS: Burrowing pocket gophers (Thomomys spp. and Goemys spp.) throwout low fan shaped mounds on either side of their underground tunnel. These lateral tunnels coming to the surface are on theflat side of the fan and are plugged with soil. With a long-handled spoon, carefully remove the plug. Insert a teaspoonfulamount as far down as possible. Reclose opening being careful not to cover bait with soil.

MAIN RUNWAY BAITING: To locate main runways, probe about 6 to 8 inches away from mounds by use of an iron bar, astrong stick, or other suitable implement. Resistance on probe will drop suddenly and probe will fall about two inches whenmain runway is entered. Carefully enlarge the opening to accommodate insertion of the bait. Insert one teaspoon of bait intoeach active tunnel. Carefully close the hole with a stone, sod, or soil. Take care not to cover bait with soil.

FOLLOW-UP: Wearing waterproof gloves, collect and dispose of dead, exposed animals. Dispose of leftover bait inaccordance with disposal instructions. Use detergent and hot water to wash spoons used for application into burrows. Do notuse spoon for mixing, holding or transferring food or feed. If reinfestation does occur, repeat treatment.
