"Kaput Ground Squirrel Bait, proper bait stations, and 5 days is all you need to rid your property of ground squirrels. It sounds too good to be true but it is great. The directions are simple and clear on the label and very safe. Waterproof gloves, scoop with a handle, and read and follow the directions! On day 1, I added a few pounds of Kaput Ground Squirrel Bait in each Wilco Ground Squirrel Bait Station and placed 3 bait stations about 50 feet apart in an area where the squirrels were active and creating burrows along a hillside and fence line. (I placed the other 7 bait stations around our large property.)
Each morning for 3 days, I checked the bait stations and could tell from the reduced amount of bait, which stations the squirrels were feeding from. I refilled each station each day, then noticed on the 4th day, the feeding was reduced in 2 of the 3 stations. By the 5th day, I could not see any more squirrel activity and the stations reflected significantly less feeding. I then shoveled the soil over each burrow opening so I could tell if there was any future burrowing activity. On the 6th day, there was no burrowing activity nor was the bait in the stations reduced.
Each day I searched for dead squirrels above ground and have not seen even one. This is important as the squirrels appear to return to their burrows to share the bait and eventually die underground. Predators, scavengers and birds can not reach the dead squirrels and secondary kills are eliminated and minimized.
I can’t say enough about the excellent customer service. Mark explained the mechanism of how the bait is ingested by the squirrels then systemically kills the disease carrying fleas and the squirrels while minimizing the effects on the environment and other animals.
Few things in life work as advertised, this works better! You will not be disappointed."
