## Description

40 OZ, Concentrate, Milky Spore Grub Control, Covers 10,000 SQFT, 100% Organic, Safe To Use Around Children & Pets, Can Be Applied Whenever The Ground Is Not Frozen, Typically Late Spring Through Early Fall, Once Established, Milky Spore Will Last 15-20 Years.Milky Spore is a naturally occurring microscopic bacteria (Bacillus popilliae) that kills Japanese beetle grubs before they can grow into ravenous adults. It's a long-term solution because it survives winter temperatures. The Milky Spore population increases each year, reaching peak effectiveness about three years after application, and lasts ten years or more.

Review: Great Product - Works as Advertised - Milky Spore is a bit pricey but when you consider that one application of the powder will protect for nearly ten years then it is well worth the investment. I applied the powder in April of 2019 and it is still doing the job. It is a fantastic product! I saw some comments about the safety of this product. Milky Spore will only harm Japanese Beetle Grubs and will have no effect on any other insect. Milky Spore Powder is a natural, safe and effective grub control product that is OMRI certified organic. It does not affect pets, beneficial insects, fish, bees, birds, other animals, plants, or man. It is not a poison. You just need to ensure that your pets are not in the area while you are applying the power. After the powder is watered in there will be no issues for humans, pets or wild life. I've done several videos on this product on my YouTube channel, Bud's Smart Home if you want to source more information on proper application of the powder.
Review: Past 12+ years "chem free" with this has been very effective, easy and average cost a few dollars/year for large yard - The joyous sight of kids and pets tumbling all over a yard isn't so joyous when wondering about chemical exposures. So I didn't apply anything for years until I found the Milky Spore instead. Meanwhile, the grubs flourished and a skunk family happily followed. Since the infestation was bad, I started with a round of beneficial nematodes for some more immediate relief, then for longevity, I applied Milky Spore in 2004 to my and my parents' white grub infested yards and am only since last year starting to see a few grubs returning. I might not even have had those if not for a tree line that's been pushed back further exposing some previously untreated areas and some possible neighboring infestations that inched their way back through that area, as well as some new likely carried in on some new topsoil added over the years. Last year I purchased enough to finish most of both yards again and this order this Spring finished that job up. The lawn is lush and green and no sign of any grubs once again in the veggie, flower or shrub beds. Plenty of those are typically favorites of japanese beetles and grubs too. Of all the yard and garden maintenance there can be to do, this has got to be one of the easiest, least expensive on average, best bang for the buck and effort to do. The rewards are easy and fairly quick - and the best reward of all is no chemicals on any foods, hands or feet tracking into and through the house.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you use a spreader (like you use to spread grass seed) instead of a spoon? Does the spore need to be clumped or just spread evenly?**
A: The best applicator is a 5-6 foot piece of 3/4" PVC pipe with a small metal can that has a removable lid (think: small metal coffee can) taped with the bottom of the can about 3-4" from the end.  Poke some small holes in the bottom of the can (approx 10-12) with an awl or ice pick, fill it with powder, and attach the lid.  As you walk along, thunk the end of the pipe on the ground about every 3-4 feet.  Take a look at your "piles" of powder after the first few to determine if your holes are big enough, or numerous enough, and the "thunking force" is adequate to drop about a teaspoon of powder each time.  Apply in a 3 or 4 foot separation grid pattern on all the turf you want to (or can) cover.This contraption will last as long as you need it to.  It is much more effective to apply during dry conditions, *before* a light rain is expected.  If the grass is wet and long, the moisture will eventually clog the holes in the bottom of your can.

**Q: When I opened the M.S. box , I found plastic packaging that was "inside out" and labeled "Perennial Fertilzer". Is that normal packaging?**
A: Yes, rec'd my order today.  In the manufacturer's box is a white plastic bag that says "recycled bag". It confused me because other than that there was no indication it was indeed Milky Spore Powder", in fact to add to doubt the white bag was inside out and I could read that it was a bag originally of Rose Fertilizer.  My neighbor's MSP purchased years ago was packaged in a clearly labeled canister inside the mfg's box.  I made a call to the seller and a call to the mfg, St Gabriel Organics, both confirmed the product was correct. While I applaud their emphasis on recycling, it would have been nice to have my white bag ID'd, it wasn't.

**Q: Has anyone actually tested this with some grubs in a jar or container?**
A: No, not with grubs in a jar, that would be highly concentrated, 1,000's of times. I put it on my lawn last Spring and have noticed a significant drop in my lawn getting dug up by skunks looking for grubs.

**Q: If I've already used a granular Grub killing product can I still add Milky Spore?**
A: No you do NOT want to use a grub killer, as you want the grub larvae to ingest it and become infected, and spread the bacteria.  If you kill the grubs, you will not get any benefit out of the milky spore bacteria.  This is per manufacturer instructions.  If you have already used the grub killer, you may want to wait a year or two to apply the milky spore, after the grubs have returned.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ milky spore
*by D***R on July 26, 2013*

It seems to be working, as I bought this to kill the grubs that the moles were seeming to thrive on, I haven't noticed any more bubbled mole tunnels running through my yard. After about 2 weeks of application, I actually saw the cat running after one that run across the street from our yard to the neighbors yard. If the product last ten or 15 years, I would not have to worry anytime soon and save a good amount of money over time. I'm almost certain that the yard is both grub free and mole free! Be sure to apply it before or during a gentle rain so that it soaks in the ground, as a strong rain will make it run off.
