The Topex applicator for the Talunex tablets for me. It comes in its own, robust, case.

Think about it - smaller tablets = more surface area = faster kick off for them as well

You'll doubtless find the tablets get bottlenecked in the container supply tube, these generally clear with a gentle shake though

Pound for pound I think you'll find the Topex/Talunex a cheaper option with use

This is a horses for courses question. Phostoxin and the applicator is beneficial and strongly recommended if you are working with Moles, I would however just about swing towards the Topex applicator for rabbit control, this choice is by the skin of my teeth that is how close it is when choosing.
When it comes down to one or the other I would say.'BOTH' if you want to use the active to its full potential and not be be just one of the crowd you will need both formulations and both applicators.
AP. Does it work?
YES.
If it is used within it's boundaries and not as a knee jerk treatment for a quick buck or two.
