St. Gabriel Organics Milky Spore Powder, 40oz - Japanese Beetle Grub Killer for Lawns

WORKED FIRST TIME! Before finding this, We tried the poison worm bait. Didn’t work- and I didn’t like the idea of sticking poison into our yard (for our pets.) Then I saw this milky spore powder on Amazon (in a search) and it said it was a non-toxic, natural alternative that would last 10 years?!? Why not try it? We did, and applied it in the fall all over the yard. (Don’t do on a windy day!) One bag did our smaller/moderate sized yard. This spring, no mole trails anywhere in the yard where I applied the powder! It’s amazing! I did miss a small area on the front yard, and there were miles this spring. So, will buy another bag, and apply in missed area. I trust it will work, and will always keep a bag of this on hand! Great product! ❤️👏🏼👏🏼💯

After we applied the powder to our lawn in Spring last year, we had practically no Japanese beetles invade our fruit trees and garden. Very different from prior summer's nightmare.

I bought this several years ago and it's still working. The grubs have disappeared from my vegetable garden. It took a few weeks to become effective, but it works. My only complaint is the container it comes in, as its just a plastic bag that makes applying and storing it a bit messy. It should come in a powder shaker container in my opinion.

Worked great at killing off the grubs in my yard. We didn't know we had an issue until our dog got skunked...3 times! Did my research and found out the skunks (and possum, racoons, etc.) are coming into your yard to eat the grubs. Easy to apply. I made my own PVC application tube as I'll be doing this again this year.

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.

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.

This is the quality milky spore disease powder, and the powder is a waaaay better deal than the granules; check the amount in each. This lasts about five years for us, and sixth year the moles start coming back near the edge of where it was placed. I "slice" the earth with a spade about 500-600 times on 1 acre lot, powder the hole from a cup of powder, then step on it. DO ONLY WHEN SOIL IS 60F+! The first year, grubs that are black on one end turn all white, which means infected with Milky spore. The following Spring your earthworms disappear due to carnivore moles not finding grubs, then moles tunnel over to your neighbor's lawn! Scattered mole tunnels began reappearing after fifth year, but not as bad as neighbor's lawn always is, Beware of copycat packaging that doesn't say St. Gabriels, but packaging is same color!

this is my 2nd purchace of Milky Spore Power in the last 8 years. The product is easy to use and effective. My 1st application was 8 yrs ago. During that time period, the product garded my yard against grub worms and kept the moles away. My only issue is with the applicator. Product kept clogging the applicator holes making it impossibe to dispence the amount stated in the instructions. I suggest applying the product the day before it is expected to rain and when it's not winfy.
