Wilco 25# Gopher Getter Bait Type 2

Wilco 25# Gopher Getter Bait Type 2 is a rodenticide developed for farmers and ranchers to control pocket gophers. It contains 0.005% Diphacinone as the active ingredient, and gophers must consume the bait for 3-4 days to achieve the desired effect. The bait is made from milo grain which is extremely palatable to gophers.

How It Works

It contains an anticoagulant diphacinone that will inhibit a gophers digestive system and has a feed action. Thus, the gopher dies from internal hemorrhage. This bait works slowly, so gophers continue to feed for several days before dying. This increases the likelihood that the gophers won’t associate the bait with feeling bad, thus continuing to feed.

Attractiveness of the Bait

The bait is made from milo grain, a favorite feed source for gophers. To make it even more attractive, the bait is treated with an anise scented attractant that makes gophers want to consume it. The bait is highly tasty to ensure gophers eat it repeatedly and in sufficient quantities for the product to be effective.

Available Packaging

The Wilco 25# Gopher Getter Bait Type 2 is available in various packaging sizes for all applications:

• 1 lb. Jar
• 5 lb. Jar
• 25 lb. Bag
• 50 lb. Bag

These choices make it easy to select the appropriate size according to the treatment area. The 25 pound bag can cover larger properties or several treatments.

How to Use

1. Finding Gopher Tunnels: To be able to use bait effectively, the user will need to locate where the gopher tunnel is. Users can do this by looking for the dirt mounds and then using an object to probe the earth for the tunnels.
2. Applying the Bait: Bait may be applied by hand or with a bait applicator. The location of the bait is in the gopher’s tunnel. The bait is placed directly into the gopher’s tunnel, about 6 to 8 inches into the mound. Application of 3 - 5 lbs per acre is the suggested rate.
3. After Application: After applying the bait, it is very important to inspect the area on a regular basis for any evidence of gopher activity. A few days after they eat the bait, the user will notice that their gophers are gone. By tracking the bait, the user can ensure that the treatments are working.

Regulatory Information

In most areas, the Wilco 25# Gopher Getter Bait Type 2 can be purchased and used without needing a permit or license. However, there are some counties in California where users cannot sell Diphacinone products. It is essential to check local regulations to determine if it can be used in a given location.
