MILKY SPORE GRANULES SPREADER SETTINGS PROFESSIONAL
It’s best to consult with a lawn care professional because without knowing insect or disease life cycles, product components, mode of action, and application method – you could be applying the wrong product, at the wrong time, for the wrong pest. To summarize, even under ideal conditions, using milky spore disease to control grubs, even Japanese beetle grubs, is a serious waste of money and time. Additionally, the bacteria can take over 4-5 years to build up…under ideal conditions…with a high population of Japanese beetles grubs! Wow! This consistently high soil temperature rarely occurs in our region. The third reason not to use milky spore in NH and VT is the fact that the soil temperature must be 60-70 for three months. Therefore, if you do not have a large Japanese beetle grub population, one where you would likely see damage – why bother? Secondly, you must have sufficient numbers of Japanese beetle grubs in your lawn to promote the bacterial population enough to expand and spread out in the soil. So now you understand that even if milky spore could work, you would only be controlling one grub out of many…not good odds. Unfortunately there are many more turf damaging grubs in NH and VT including Asiatic beetles, European and masked chafers, June and May beetles and armyworms. The main thing you will need to focus on when you spread Milky Spore Granules is that you’re getting a solid covering on your lawn.
