This stuff works and I'm anxious to see how long. The only thing that I would like is better application instructions, similar to those on fertilizer packages that list the spreader manufacture and spreader setting. That would make applying much easier and prevent waste. Review: It works! - Grub INVASION! My lawn was dying fast and it was early spring. Mole hills everywhere. This was my second spring in our new house, and our lawn was ruined. Digging for landscaping showed me more grubs than I imagined was possible in every shovel full. My family insisted on the putting pesticides all over our lawn, but I worried about the bees and birds and just couldn't do it. I did lots of research and decided on Milky Spore. My family insisted only poison could kill the beasts but you proved them wrong. 1 month later I only found 1 grub in a shovel full, and my grass is coming back to life. I am more than pleased that this system worked, and it did it without poisoning the ecosystem. ## Features - 1 Bag St Gabriel Organics 80080-2 20 lb Milky Spore Organic Grub Control - Each 20 LB, Covers 7,000 Sq Ft - Organic Compound Attacks The Larvae Of Japanese Beetles (Grubs) - Apply With Spreader Anytime From Spring Through Fall - Harmless To All Other Living Things & Will Not Effect Birds, Bees, Beneficial Insects, Fish, Animals, Plants Or Man ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00AEBIURU | | Best Sellers Rank | #380,172 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #5,229 in Garden Fertilizers | | Brand | Gabriel Organics | | Color | mix | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,028) | | Expected Blooming Period | Fall | | Expected Planting Period | Spring | | Indoor/Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Item Weight | 20 pounds | | Item model number | 80080-P | | Manufacturer | Gabriel Organics | | Material Feature | Organic | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Product Care Instructions | Water | | Product Dimensions | 15 x 11 x 7 inches | | Soil Type | Sandy Soil | | Special Feature | Organic | | Sunlight Exposure | Partial Shade | | UPC | 699064800802 | | USDA Hardiness Zone | 3 | | Unit Count | 320.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gabriel Organics - **Color:** mix - **Expected Blooming Period:** Fall - **Expected Planting Period:** Spring - **Indoor/Outdoor Usage:** Outdoor - **Item Weight:** 20 Pounds - **Material Feature:** Organic - **Special Feature:** Organic - **Sunlight Exposure:** Partial Shade - **Unit Count:** 320.0 Ounce ## Images ![Milky Spore Lawn Spreader Mix - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61OTWpUMsRS.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: safe to use in vegetable garden?** A: Yes this is safe for a vegetable garden. The spores attack only beetle larvae. **Q: Does this product have to be watered in?** A: I didn’t water in at all, I’m sure it rained within the week or so. I can’t remember. Also, I didn’t broadcast on every inch of my yard, only because it’s so expensive. I basically hit the edges of my yard, hit and miss the rest. Then, in the Fall, I broadcasted in areas I didn’t get the previous Spring. I seen a huge difference two weeks after initial application. I was obsessed with killing moles..now I have none. It’s been probably 4 years and I have had ZERO moles. This stuff is ALL THAT. Thanks for asking! **Q: How is it applied? Shaker or gloved hand?** A: We use a broadcast spreader for the lawn, and by glove in the garden beds. **Q: Can this product be incorporated into the soil by using a tiller? I have a Scott's drop spreader. Does anyone know at what setting.** A: Rain dissolves it into the soil. No need to till in ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked Well *by S***1 on April 19, 2024* I had no over-winter damage from animals digging up grubs and when I have dug in my yard this spring, I see little/no grubs.

This was my second spring in our new house, and our lawn was ruined. Digging for landscaping showed me more grubs than I imagined was possible in every shovel full. My family insisted on the putting pesticides all over our lawn, but I worried about the bees and birds and just couldn't do it. I did lots of research and decided on Milky Spore.

I am more than pleased that this system worked, and it did it without poisoning the ecosystem. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seemed to work as well as nematodes, and a bit easier. *by F***N on January 10, 2018* Edit: 9/10/19 I did not use Milky Spore this summer, nor any other product and still had a reduction of Japanese Beetles comparable to prior years. The point is is that the grubs get attacked by the spores and the spores multiply, thus more and more spores. I am a scientist type and an experimenter (and cheap . . .) so I figured the spores will likely multiply enough to cover the entire area. I may have even left some space between spreader rows, and went light on the application. Where do you live ? Do you got to 30 below zero and have up to 6 months of snow on the ground like we do ? Are your neighbors close and don't treat their lawns ? Seems the spores or nematodes I had used previously didn't all die off completely. Spores are tough, not uncommon for them to survive space. In fact some scientists posit that some life on Earth may have been seeded by SPORES FROM SPACE !!! . . . (Said deep and echo-y, naturally . . .) So did the Milky Spore survive the tough winter ? There was only minimal nibblage, not like a few years back when the beetles were everywhere ! Or did something else account for the reduction on these foreign invaders ? Possibly. More crickets and grasshoppers this year, and to me that's a good thing. Edit: 11/09/18 I again used the Milky Spore this summer at less than recommended, later than I wanted to due to uncharacteristic dryness in the spring and early summer and am pleased with the results. Again, not eradication but reduction to about 20% or less of Japanese beetles. Last year was about down to 10% If your really want a natural, green, healthy lawn get this book: "Teaming with Microbes: The Organic Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web", Revised Edition. (I bought three from Amazon and gave 2 to science teachers, one who was doing an entire section on microbiomes. I've been working with the microbiome in my and others bodies for over 2 decades, why not my lawn ? . . .) The book is tremendous in explaining what the buggies in a healthy lawn do and why chemical fertilizers either kill or chase them away. Accessible for non-sciencey types. Visible bugs to tiny arthropods to bacteria and fungi (trillions of them !!!) all working together in a web for a healthy, strong, resilient "fish tank" for your lawn that supports the grass you want and inhibits other "weeds". I bought some fertilizer with microbes in it to inoculate my lawn (not sure I can mention it but it isn't hard to find) and my front yard looks noticeably better and is still really green with very little broad leaf grass unlike every year prior. I use no bag when I mow and I got no thatch this year. The clipped grass was being recycled. The acre + back yard that is all fill and not soil yet and doesn't really grow is greener and healthier. I'll await next spring to see if it was all in my head, due to the microbes, or due to a lot of rain in early August this year. Want another secret to a green lawn ? . . . Do a little research on urine and gardening . . . Original comment, Jan. 2018: Seemed to work in significantly reducing Japanese beetles. Being a natural guy I don't use poisons on my plants or lawn. I had used nematodes for several years prior which work great IF you get them down in time. But they are far pricier, and a little harder to apply. I used one 20 pound bag of Milky Spore spread out more than recommended on an acre and a half or so. That did what I needed. We will see what next year holds. i find it hard to believe that spores will die over winter even the 10 days of 0 to 25 below that we've just gone through. Yeasts/molds have been around for almost a billion years and have gotten the survival thing down. But we will see. I'll likely get another bag for 2018. Two notes: 1. Don't expect complete eradication. Natural remedies just don't do that. B. After using nematodes and Milky Spore I have FAR fewer grasshoppers and crickets than I used to, hence far fewer toads and garter snakes. I used to have so many that I had to mow for two days to let the little critters get out of the way. I looked up to see if either product had an effect on grasshoppers and crickets and didn't find anything about it so maybe It's a cyclical thing, or something else.
