Milky Spore

Comments about Milky Spore:

During long years of organic gardening, I knew about Milky Spore, but I never needed it. Now, gardening in Central Texas, I had my Sweet Potato crop nearly wiped out by grubs - including the Rhinoceros Beetle. I will use the product only on my food beds and allow my fancy horned friends to live peacefully everywhere else. Being rid of the Japanese beetles? We'll see - I'll let you know!

The powder version is hard to control in other than calm conditions. A granular version would be a lot easier.

This is my second year applying milky spore to my entire yard. There was a noticeable difference in the number of Japanese Beetle grubs in my yard from last year to this year. I hope to wipe out even more of them this year. I also got my next door neighbor to apply it to her entire yard this year, too, in an effort to kill the grubs.

Needs to improve the instuctions on how to apply for vegetables. Not much listed. Good product.

We moved into this home in 2008 and found the yard was loaded with moles or voles. My wife did some research and came up with the Milky Spore that I have used in 2008, 2009, and 2010. We were desperately hoping that the Japanese beetle population would decrease and hence, the mole population. But to our dismay, we are out over $1,000 and neither population has decreased in the least!! We are at wits end!

I was relieved to find Milky Spore through Gardener's Supply Co. All of the garden books and Master Gardeners recommend this product for grubs and slugs, but it is not readily available everywhere. I have dogs and a slug problem (this past year) and I need a product that is safe around the dogs. This is a great product for a long term benefit.

I did an October application of the milky spores. I like this large box, it is more convenient for our 2.5 acres' backyard. I applied the spores with the tube also purchased on your site. The last (and first) time I did it (about 4 years ago), our backyard was infested by Japanese beetles and grubs. As far as I can tell, their numbers dropped since then.

Thanks!

This is a great product. I bought it many, many years ago and it elimiated grubs. They say it is effective for about 10 years...I got 15years. So a few minutes of time results in years of protection.
There have been reviews about it's safety and other application concerns, but if you use it on a calm, dry day, no special applicator is needed.

Used milky spore on my rhubarb and asparagus plants that were covered with Japanese Beetles
