You can wait up 36 to 48 hours before watering in the Milky Spore. Make sure you water the Milky Spore before raking or mowing your lawn. The whole idea is to soak the Milky Spore into the soil where it will become available to grubs feeding on the roots of grass. Simply use an oscillating hose sprayer for 15 to 20 minutes over the entire treated area. There may still be some white residue but this is chalk used as carrier for the spores.

Milky Spore Lawn Spreader Mix may be difficult to do a proper application by hand as it is an extremely fine granule, that is why the drop spreader is needed to apply over each square foot. We would suggest contacting St. Gabriel Organics at directly at 540-672-0866 for advise on how to apply their product in areas where a drop spreader will not reach by hand. The Milky Spore Lawn Spreader Granules do require six applications usually in Spring,, Summer and Fall for 2 consecutive years to build up the one area to one million spores.

The Milky Spore Powder may be a better option as this uses a lawn dispenser tube to apply in a checkerboard pattern. One 10 oz container will treat 2,500 square feet and one 40 oz container will treat 10,000 square feet.

If the grubs are actively feeding, you may use a product such as Dylox 6.2 Granules. If the grubs are not actively feeding, you will want to use a product that provides more residual control, and you may use a product such as Merit 0.5 G Insecticide Granules.
