Burial includes covering and packing the hole or burrow with soil. If burial is not practical (due to frozen ground, etc.) and other disposal methods are allowed by state and local authorities, collected carcasses ma y be disposed of by other methods to insure that the carcasses are inaccessible to scavengers. **Second Bait Application :**  If prairie dog activity persists several weeks or months after the bait was applied, a second application may be made, by treating burrows in the manner, time period and procedure as described under DIRECTIONS FOR USE instructions.
