Talpirid Mole Bait Worms #865432

Asked April 22, 2024, 1:04 PM EDT

I live in New Era, MI. I have ordered this item in the past to help control moles and voles. However, when I tried to order it just now, I am informed: "This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location." Has it been banned in Michigan? Thank you.

Hello,

Talpirid Mole Bait Worms are not banned in Michigan. In fact, they are a relatively new mole bait product available on the market. These bait worms are “disguised” to look just like earthworms, resembling gummy worms. When placed in mole tunnels, the moles consume them, effectively controlling the mole population1. While MSU doesn’t have personal experience with Talpirid, They have heard positive results from others who have used it in their battle against moles. Keep in mind that these “worms” can be a bit pricey, so consider your level of mole frustration before embarking on this eradication program. If you’re dealing with mole issues, Talpirid might be a helpful solution for you!
