I have been using Talpirid for over ten years and have always had success in getting rid of moles in my yard. The worms have always been yellow in color and had structural integrity. They were easy to remove from the trays they were in.However, I was very disappointed in the new box of Talpirid worms. They were brown and looked like they had melted. When I removed them from the tray, each worm was just mush and almost completely unusable. The worst part is I still have a bunch of mole hills in my yard. I'm sorry to say I will be looking for other products to get the job done.

The worms work great against moles. The first package was amazing. The second package I just received not so much. The worms are yellow and are emitting a foul odor. For the price I’m super disappointed that I wasted my money on the second order.

I struggled to control a mole population in my yard for several years until I purchased and deployed this product. I tried competitor-brand poison worms, poison granules, scissor spring traps (which definitely helped, but didn't end the problem), castor oil in liquid and granular form (both of which helped slow activity, but never ended the problem), vibrating/ noise producing rods (that didn't work, even a little), sulphur smoke bombs (that were interesting to use, but I couldn't quantify any beneficial effect), and I'm sure other stuff that I can't remember. Everything else was a 3 out of 10 or less on effectiveness. Deploying this product, watching carefully for new activity, and redeploying eliminated my mole problem in about a month. This product isn't cheap, but it's effective and worth the money and time you'll save by not buying the other worthless alternatives.

Four year battle with the moles in the front and back yards - mounds, tunnels and holes. Needless to say, the lawn would get trashed and it was very frustrating. I attempted to use pellets, other baits/rodenticides, smokers, and all kinds of spring loaded traps to stop the damage from the moles. With the exception of the traps, nothing worked. However, the traps are "hit or miss" in that even if you get them set up correctly (on the tunnel, use gloves for no scent, etc.), the results were sporadic. What I mean by sporadic is that only three moles were caught with 12 different traps in three years (not sure about the really small, buried traps as you don't see results with those being buried and not marked for further inspection - but the mounds and tunnels kept coming so I am guessing they were ineffective). Keep in mind that all of this is not cheap, and the time I spent messing around with this was enormous. This spring the moles came back. After listening to person after person tell me that it was "lawn grubs" that the moles fed on, I was ready to try the lawn application of the grub killer again. My lawn person and several internet sites (like state university agricultural extension sites, etc.) then confirmed that the moles eat mostly earthworms and not so much in the way of grubs. This probably means the better shape your lawn is in, the better your soil and the more earthworms you have. Oh, the irony.....After searching Amazon I found this product, and was skeptical as I had used a similar looking product before to no avail. This product certainly looks like an earthworm as far as size and shape, and with the positive reviews I was willing to give it a try. Received the product and applied it as instructed in the tunnels. Keep the faux worms buried and away from digging cats and dogs, easy to do if you poke a hole in the tunnel/run and push the product in deep with a wooden dowel. Three days later there was very little new tunnel and mound activity, one week later there was almost no new activity and two weeks later it looks like the moles are history as there has been no new activity whatsoever. I can't say for certain the moles are dead as none were found on the surface, but if there are no new mounds or signs of tunneling, the moles are either too deep to see activity or they are dead. My guess is the latter, as it appears the moles are dead.Is it possible that Talpirid does not work and each of the moles decided to pack up and leave together or that they all died of some instantaneous mole disease at coincidentally the same time as the application of the bait? I guess it is possible, but I know what killed them. It was the Talpirid - it works and works quickly!UPDATE (11/1/15): So the moles would come and go and I would continue to use the Talpirid. However (as was said above), it is really hard to tell if the baits work or not with all of it happening underground, or if there are just more moles coming. That said, I added two versions of the old school spring loaded traps that you set from above ground, on top of the tunnel. If you set them right they work, and maybe before I just didn't set them right. Now I use gloves and keep them in place in the areas where the tunnels are most prevalent after the telltale dirt mounds appear. Took another three moles out in a month with the traps and probably more below ground with the Talpirid. Good luck, YMMV.
