Applying milky spore powder Patch#
if there was a hole from some critter's digging for grubs, that's where I put my disease laden powder !Ģ015 showed some promise, as there were far fewer diggings, and we also did limited spraying our Raspberry Patch with Liquid Sevin to deal with the adult Japanese Beetles, but Sevin is very damaging to the Bees who we rely on to pollinate the Raspberry Flowers. I used another ¼ of my 10 Ounce box and inoculated the areas that showed evidence of grubs in 2014 but not so geometric. My sparse 2013 activity may have had a reduction on the grub evidence in 2014 but not so much. I put down about ⅛ teaspoon of the powder (it's just dehydrated pulverized diseased grubs) per square yard (9 square feet, and watered it in nicely. In June of 2013, i had enough and bought a $24.97 10 ounce box of Milky Spore, and used about halve of it to inoculate that portion of my lawn which had the most digging damage. and Milky Spore is expensive (effective but expensive).
and the Beetles laid their eggs in our heretofore nice lawn and created the grubs which drew in all these critters who love to hunt down and munch on the Grubs. Then, around 2005, we introduced a Raspberry Patch, which drew in Japanese Beetles. So now I'm trying to maintain a lawn of almost 4 acres, and for the first 15 years of my ownership, I had no Japanese Beetles, nor any Grub problems. You'll feel just awful removing the Gourmet Grubs from their menu ! Back then, Milky Spore was effective in wiping out my grubs within 2 years.Īctually, the grubs aren't the problem, it's the Racoons, Skunks, Gophers, Possums, and other critters who dig up the Grubs that cause the lawn to become such a mess. I used Milky Spore 35 years ago when I had a tiny little ¼ Acre Lot and less patience than I do today. I've written this before, so I hope I'm consistent. Read the package and study the life cycle of the Japanese Beetles/Grub Larvae to your own benefit. I don't know if there's a "bad time" to apply Milky Spore.
