Frillylily, the brand I used was like TomCat's for worms & grubs, but not TomCat. The other control purchased at the nursery contained zinc phosphide, not zinc phosphate.
When using all of the products, I never touched the bait with my hands, use nails or other tools. Fearing that moles could smell, I do not want to contaminate the bait with my odors. I am of the opinion that: moles can smell the various baits and learn to associate their odors with death; and seeing less mole hills after switching products is due to the new bait's odors are not yet learned by any survivors.
