                              DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.  
READ THIS LABEL and follow all use directions and precautions.  Only use for sites, pests, and application methods specified on this label.
IMPORTANT:  Do not expose children, pets, or other non-target animals to rodenticides.  To help prevent accidents:
1.  Store product not in use in a location out of reach of children and pets. 
2.  Dispose of product container, unused, spoiled and unconsumed bait as specified on this label.
Use Restrictions:  This product may only be used as follows:
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(R)-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 if ferrets are found during Kaput(R)-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(R)-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(R)-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.
