St. Gabriel Organics Milky Spore Granular Grub Control, 15lb

I’ve been using this stuff for at least 10 years. One thing I’ve noticed is that there’s not a grub to be found in my yard or garden. Definitely cuts down on the Japanese beetles as well. However, as far as Japanese beetles go, it only really works if your neighbors use it too because they fly in from miles away. But you don’t get the same brown spots in your lawn that your neighbors will because there are no beetle grubs eating the roots of your lawn. The only problem is this stuff gets more and more expensive.. All in all, definitely worth it.

So far so good! I bought this to deter the moles/voles in my yard. It is supposed to get rid of the grubs they like to eat. I put one application down in early June and so far I’ve not had any moles. I’ll purchase again for the fall application. It’s granular so it’s easy to spread either with a spreader or by hand.

I have an infestation of Japanese Beetles. They destroy my Rose Garden. Ive got White, red, and pink roses. Very beautiful when they are in bloom. The beetles attack the petals and eat the leaves. I dont know where the beetles came from. They just started appearing 3-4 years ago. I use a trap which catches thousands of them but they wont stop coming. This year I ordered the Milky Spore and flooded my Rose Garden bed with it. Thats got to be where they are coming from. I ordered my white roses online and I think the soil had some grubs in it. Its July 6th and I havent seen anymore Japanese beetles on my roses since applying the Milky Spore. I hope ive finally found a way to control those destructive pests!

We will see this summer how effective it is. I tried spreading it in the fall without a spreader. What a nightmare. I borrowed a spreader, and it's soooo much easier.

I used the powder in the past. It worked fast and kept the Japanese beetles away for at least 10 years. I bought these granuals to try. The drawback to granuals is that you have to apply it to your yard about 3 times a year for 2 years. But we'll see how it performs. I swear by Milky Spore as a solution for the Japanese beetles.

I'll give the product the benefit of the doubt that it's good milky spore, but I won't buy it again. Problem is that it only targets Japanese beetles. The yard has to have an infestation for the spore to multiply, and it takes several quarterly applications before the stuff starts winning the war against the beetles. I'm not a fan of Japanese beetles, but I'd like to target more. I bought some traps, and they're having an immediate impact. Not buying any more milky spore.

Placed it in an area that moles would terrorize, moles no more!

It works well, The beetles are declining, after using it twice on a 15000 sq ft Vineyard. Whether it lasts for 15 years? We will see. I will continue the application and hope for even less beetles. I am still spraying with Barye (sp) garden vegetable spray for the big beetle parties, the less beetles you have, the less are attracted to your plants
