    Works to get rid of japanese beetles

    Purchased a small carton last year (didn't look at amount closely for size of lawn) and this year had a very substantially less year number of them. To provide other information, I also used nematodes last year but the weather was so dry unsure how useful (nematodes apparently need moist soil), and nematodes don't survive the cold winter. Regardless, this year had WAY less of the japanese beetles so decided to spread a larger amount of the milky spore and then should be done for a while (milky spore survives cold and live in Maine). It worked for me last year, and found out about it because worked really well for a friend who had a japanese beetle problem prior to using milky spore. Yes, I would recommend. Be aware it says not to use a spreader (such as might use for lime or fertilizer), but instead a spoon or specially made spore spreader.

    Didn't work as i expected.

    I was told by a local lawn and nursery business that this would get rid of grubs and that moles would then leave because they have nothing to eat. NOT true regarding moles! I then called the supplier about the product and was told that it is not to deter moles, but will get the grubs. That remains to be seen as I still have a large number of insects flying just above the ground like the japanese beetles did before applying the milky spore. It may work for the beetles for next year, but I see no results this season or to deter moles.

  • First time user

    I don't know how or if the product works, as I've never applied it before. My only hope is that it will kill the grubs and keep the armadillos and skunks from digging up my yard. I only applied one box around my house, but I may have to do more at another time. This is the first year that Japanese beetles have attacked my 3 year old rose bush. Time will tell. I really don't know how I could recommend it or tell if it is of good quality until next year. I really don't know if it is an excellent product. I suppose that St. Gabriel is the only manufacturer of this product. I do know that after much research, the best value was on eBay. If I change my mind, perhaps I can do another rating or change this one.

  • Long-lasting grub killer

    The powder is easy to apply and once absorbed into the soil works for about 10 years killing grubs. We made an applicator using an old tin coffee can with holes drilled into the bottom and attached it to an old broom handle. Fill with the powder and tap the ground, every 4 feet, in a checker board manner.

  • Goes a Long Way! Grubs Must Die!

    Whack jobs print on the inside of the plastic bag inside these days. Who can read the instructions when they are printed on the inside of the bag? Superman?

  • My Lawn Loves it, The Grubs Hate it

    I put this stuff on my front long a few years ago - No more grubs killing the grass there. Now I will put it on the lawn behind the house - This stuff will love to eat the grubs there also.

  • Milky Spores works!

    Milky Spores works, this is the forth yr. now and each yr. I put more around the lilacs and dig it into the ground and put it on the lawn. The skunk stopped digging, I'll still see a grub once in awhile but it's white and on the box that means it's contaminated.

  • Easy to apply to lawn

    Since I just received this product and applied it to my lawn about a week ago, it is too soon to know if it will kill the grubs so that the moles are forced to live elsewhere. I am going to be patient and see if the product works as described.
