To Try Poison Worms Or Not To Try Poison Worms for Moles…That Is The Question

 

Ever since the “mole killer” worms came out known as Talpirid, many of the pest control companies added mole control to their array of services. I mean…how hard can it be…just take the poison, gummy worm look alike and place it in what may appear as an active mole run, charge $300 to $500 for the service because it is a “poison”, then come back to re check the lawn in a week and be down the road to the next sucker in line.  One thing is for sure, no company can put a guarantee on a dead mole.  I have personally caught many, many moles in yards where the poison worm has been used.  The moles just don’t eat it like they advertise they do…Moles like fresh and live meat…They get their water more from the biological makeup of the earthworms, insects, and grubs that they eat…a poison worm is more like a dead worm doing nothing but sitting there and really does not offer a tasty meal.  Some common names for the “poison” worms are Motomco Mole Killer and Talpirid like mentioned above.

At TRapper’s Wildlife Control, we can guarantee a dead mole because we get to see that dead mole.  Also if you pay TRapper’s Wildlife Control $300 to $500 for a mole control program, that means we caught at least 4 to 8 moles that were doing damage in the lawn.  Many times customers only have a couple moles doing the damage.  An average acre of lawn will have 3-5 moles active in it.

TRapper doesn’t like the poison worms for one other reason and it is the biggest one of all.  First and Secondary Poisoning.  One talpirid poison worm has enough poison in it to kill one medium size dog. Say a mole happens to eat the worm, dies, and then a dog….YOUR dog, digs up the mole and eats the mole…what happens to your dog is called Secondary Poisoning.  But The BIGGEST reason TRapper hates the poison worm is because of small children.  Most have had gummy worms before and I have to ask…If you took a talpirid or motomco poison worm and set it down beside a candy gummy worm and offered it to a 1-4 year old kid…would they know which one is bad?  Granted the poison worm should be underground and hidden but what happens if one doesn’t make it all the way underground?  TRapper personally believes this is an accident waiting to happen, unfortuneately.
