2. Dispose of product container, unused, spoiled and unconsumed bait as specified on this label.

1. Sites/Pests: Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) on rangeland and adjacent non-crop areas.

2. States: Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas 

and Wyoming. Do not apply this product within the exterior boundaries of the Crow Reservation or the Blackfeet 

Reservation in Montana.

3. Application: This product may only be used in underground applications. Do not apply bait at or above 

ground level. Treat only active burrows. Leave no bait on soil surface. Applicator must retrieve and dispose of 

any bait that is spilled above ground or placed less than 6 inches down the burrow entrance.

4. Treatment Period: Apply between October 1 and March 15 of the following year, when animals will most 

readily take the grain bait.

5. Non-Applicators: Do not allow children, pets, domestic animals or persons not involved in the application to 

be in the area where the product is being applied.

6. Grazing Restriction: Do not allow livestock to graze in treated areas for 14 days after treatment and when no 

bait is found above ground.

7. Other: Do not use Kaput®-D Prairie Dog Bait with any other anticoagulant prairie dog bait. For each treatment 

area, only one anticoagulant rodenticide active ingredient (diphacinone or chlorophacinone) may be used per 

treatment period.

Endangered Species: It is a Federal offense to use any pesticide in a manner that results in the death of an 

endangered species. Use of this product may pose a hazard to endangered or threatened species. When using 

this product, you must follow the measures contained in the Endangered Species Protection Bulletin for the 

county in which you are applying the product. To obtain Bulletins, no more than six months before using this 

product, consult http://www.epa.gov/espp/ or call 1-800-447-3813. You must use the Bulletin valid for the month in 

which you will apply the product. 

Site Assessment: Before applying this product, identify active prairie dog burrows by visual observation. The 

openings of active burrows will generally be free of leaves, seeds, other debris or spider webs, and will show 

freshly turned earth, and have prairie dog feces nearby. 

Application Directions: 

Method 1: Application by Hand: Apply 1⁄4 cup of bait (approx. 2 ounces or 56 grams) at least 6 inches down 

prairie dog burrows. Make sure no bait is left on the soil surface. Applicator must retrieve and dispose of any bait 

that is spilled above ground or placed less than 6 inches down the burrow entrance.

Method 2: Application by Mechanical Bait Placement Machine: Apply 1⁄4 cup of bait (approx. 2 ounces or 56 

grams) at least 6 inches down prairie dog burrows. Apply with a mechanical bait application machine that is 

designed, constructed and operated in a manner that ensures bait is properly placed at least 6 inches down 

prairie dog burrows. Mechanical bait application machines must be calibrated to ensure that the proper amount of 

bait is dispensed into each prairie dog burrow. Make sure no bait is left on the soil surface. Applicator must 

retrieve and dispose of any bait that is spilled above ground or placed less than 6 inches down the burrow 

entrance.

Follow-up: Prairie dogs that have eaten this bait will begin to die off 4 to 5 days after the first treatment. The 

applicator must return to the site within 4 days after bait application, and at 1 to 2 day intervals, to collect and 

properly dispose of any bait or dead or dying prairie dogs found on the surface. Carcass searches must be 

performed using a line-transect method that completely covers the baited area. Transect center lines must be not 

more than 200 feet (about 60 meters) apart, and should be considerably less if searches are conducted in more 

densely vegetated sites. Transect lines may be traveled on foot or by vehicle at a rate not to exceed 4 mph. All 

dead or dying non-target animals must be reported to the National Pesticide Information Center 1-800-858-7378 

as soon as possible. Any apparently injured or sick Federally listed species must also be immediately reported by 

calling 303-236-7540 (if located in Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Montana, Colorado or Wyoming) or 505-248-

7889 (if located in Texas, New Mexico or Oklahoma). The Black-footed Ferret Coordinator must also be contacted 
72500-__: Kaput®-D Prairie Dog Bait

Proposed Label – Version 08.27.2012

Page 3 of 4

if ferrets are found during Kaput®-D Prairie Dog Bait applications or carcass searches at 970-897-2730 x224. If 

live black footed ferrets are found outside reintroduction sites, before, during or after Kaput®-D Prairie Dog Bait

application, the Black-footed Ferret Coordinator must be contacted immediately and sufficient time must be 

allowed for the FWS to capture and relocate the black-footed ferret(s) before applying Kaput®-D Prairie Dog Bait.

All carcasses found above ground must be collected and disposed of properly. Continue to collect and dispose of 

dead or dying prairie dogs and search for non-target animals for at least two weeks, but longer if carcasses are 

still being found at that time. Carcass collection should occur in late afternoon, near sundown, to reduce the 

potential of nocturnal animals finding carcasses and dying animals. Bury carcasses on site in holes dug at least 

18 inches deep or in inactive burrows (no longer being used by prairie dogs or other species) to avoid non-target 

animal scavenging. 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 

may 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. Follow all Use Restrictions, Site Assessment, Application and 

Follow-up directions as stipulated above.
