BROS KARBID or Calcium Carbide, which varies in color from light purple to brown to dark gray, is used in acetylene lamps. Water gradually drips from the reservoir into the generator where the carbide is located. During the induced chemical reaction, ethyne vapors are released, which subsequently rise through the lamp to the valve located at its top, where the gas is burned. The smell of this substance is similar to garlic.
When reacting with atmospheric moisture, the calcium carbide granules are covered with a light brown to light gray layer of calcium hydroxide. Calcium acetylide itself is not harmful to the human body, but upon contact with moist skin, it transforms into calcium hydroxide, which has mild caustic effects, leading to loss of moisture, thus drying the skin, so it is not recommended to come into direct contact with calcium acetylide.

Find the active tunnels of the mole. Clear the soil from the mounds and place 10-15 g (1/2 tablespoon) of the agent into each tunnel. Lightly cover the opening with soil without destroying the tunnel. By the action of soil moisture (or slight watering), the carbide is released into the soil. Repeat daily until new molehills stop appearing. After about 3 days, the number of new molehills will visibly decrease. Areas where BROS-Calcium carbide mole repellent has been applied can continue to be used.
When reacting with air moisture, the granules of calcium carbide become covered with a light brown to light gray layer of calcium hydroxide. Calcium carbide itself has no harmful effects on the human body, but when in contact with wet skin, it turns into calcium hydroxide, which has mild caustic effects, leading to moisture loss and thus drying out the skin, so it is not recommended to come into direct contact with calcium carbide.
Dosing: > 10 - 15 g (1/2 tablespoon) per molehill

Releases flammable gases upon contact with water, which can ignite spontaneously. Irritates the skin. Causes serious eye damage. May cause respiratory irritation. Keep out of reach of children. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Use protective gloves and goggles. Avoid contact with water. In case of fire, use a fire extinguisher or dry powder to extinguish. It is not recommended to extinguish the fire with water, as this may lead to a subsequent reignition of the fire. Store in a dry place. Keep in a closed container.
First aid. Remove the affected person to fresh air. Rinse eyes with water for several minutes, wash contaminated skin with water and soap. Do not induce vomiting if ingested. If the affected person is conscious, offer them egg whites or milk. Seek medical attention immediately. In situations where other than medical help outlined in the recommendations is necessary, contact the Toxicological Information Center of the Occupational Disease Clinic.
