Not so good
By Bruce in Colts Neck on 10/06/2015
Product packaged in plastic fertilizer bags that had been turned inside out. A lot of work to spread the product on my lawn.
Expert response:
We apologize for any confusion. The manufacturer, St Gabriels Lab, is a very environmentally conscious company. They had too many bags for a different product that they produce and instead of throwing them away, they opted instead to flip them inside out and use them for the milky spore. This helps keeps costs down for everyone and keeps the bags from being wasted needlessly. Milky Spore Powder can be a bit of work to apply, but the results will be awesome!

By Gabrielle in Chesapeake on 11/10/2015
We used this product 15 years ago. Not once did we have a mole trail in all the years. There finally vented back. We have a surprise for them. We put Milky Spore. This is great stuff. Stand by it…

By Susan in Glenn Dale, Maryland on 10/20/2014
We received the product, but it was in recycled rose food bags, which really threw me! I called "DoMyOwnPestControl" and their service rep knew all about the recycled packages and reassured me that I …

By Dale in topeka, ks on 08/28/2015
I initially spread about 4 feet apart like the label says and it took a while to spread itself. I have some moles again up by the house so I bought some more and spread it in about 3 feet apart or so…

Good product, good service
By Dan in University Park, PA on 10/06/2016
Milky spore is my great hope in the battle against japanese beetles. Its non-toxic and long lasting characteristics (10-20 years) are especially nice, I think. The big box is handy for big yards, just…

Good Stuff
By Dale in Kansas on 10/31/2014
I have used before and seems to be doing the job intended. This order is to increase the area and remove more mole burrowing by killing the grubs. I will buy more if needed.
Highly recommend
By Mike in Newark DE on 11/08/2019
30 years ago we treated our lawn because we wanted to avoid annual insecticides. However, the infestation of grubs we found this year convinced us that another treatment was due. With just over an acr…

Expert response:
We are sorry that you did not receive the results you expected when using Milky Spore Powder. Per the manufacturer's information provided on the product page, it can take several years for Milky Spore to establish completely in soil. "In warm climates good control can occur in one to three years. In colder areas like New England, three to five years." Since it has been less than one year since your application, it is normal to see adult beetles now. This is a natural bacterium which establishes through the grubs themselves and will spread more quickly when grubs are actively feeding. You can apply more product without any adverse effects, or you can give the product more time to establish. Be sure to use recommended rates and that the Milky Spore is watered in within 36-48 hours after application and watered before raking or mowing. If you would like to contact St Gabriel, the manufacturer, you can also reach them at 540-672-0866. Please let us know if we can further assist you anytime.

I have applied but I guess it takes a while to begin working as I still have grubs. Hopefully soon I will see some results.
Best Stuff EVER!
By Gp in Malabar, FL on 09/02/2017
We farm in 25 gallon pots due to wet soil conditions. 1 tsp of milky spore per pot keeps the garden grubs away for 2 years or so!
Milky Sport does its job, but it takes a while
By Richard in Newark, DE on 03/27/2020
This is the 3rd time I've applied (to 3rd property). It takes a couple years to spread through the soil. My yard will be grub-free. Unfortunately, my neighbors' yards won't be, so my flowers feed t…

Hoping for the best!
By Glenn in Mechanicsville on 06/22/2018
Bought and applied the product, but since it takes up to 2 years to be totally effective, it's difficult to review. Easy to apply, but time consuming. Of course, I knew that before I bought it, so no …

Milky Spore Review
By Michael in Greenville on 05/23/2020
Shipping was fast.The only problem I had was there seemed to be a lot of pea sized gravel which plugged the dispersion holes.For that price I was not expecting that.I hope it works.
Little disappointment
By Seth in Massachusetts on 04/26/2020
I have applied this product for 3 years in my state. I still continue to have grubs. So I decided to treat the lawn chemically this time around.

By J. in MA on 04/11/2016
