Product Features
Up to 20 Years of Protection
Milky Spore doesn’t just kill grubs—it builds a natural defense system in your lawn. Once applied, the spores multiply as grubs ingest them, creating a self-sustaining cycle of protection. Over time, your soil becomes naturally fortified, helping to reduce future infestations for years to come with minimal maintenance.
Pet & Family Friendly
Get back to enjoying your yard right away. Milky Spore Granular is completely safe for children, pets, and people—there’s no need to wait after application. Simply spread and resume your outdoor activities with peace of mind.
Won’t Harm Beneficial Insects
Unlike harsh chemical treatments, Milky Spore targets only Japanese beetle grubs. It won’t harm beneficial insects like bees and butterflies, nor will it disturb earthworms or essential microbes in your soil. It’s a smart choice for gardeners who care about pollinator safety and overall soil health.
Organic & OMRI Listed
Milky Spore is powered by Bacillus popilliae, a naturally occurring bacterium that specifically affects Japanese beetle larvae. It’s a targeted, biological solution that aligns with organic gardening practices while being highly effective at reducing grub populations.
Flexible Seasonal Use – Spring, Summer, or Fall
Timing is key: apply Milky Spore during the grub's active season—typically spring through fall—for best results. Whether you’re using a broadcast spreader or a handheld powder dispenser, Milky Spore’s granular formula is easy to apply across your lawn and garden beds.
Safe for Gardens, Waterways & Wildlife
Milky Spore is an eco-conscious solution you can feel good about. It poses no threat to nearby water sources, wildlife, or surrounding landscapes. Whether you’re treating a backyard garden or a large lawn, you can trust that Milky Spore works in harmony with the environment.

My lawn was horrible! Dead spots everywhere. When I pulled up the grass, it came out in dead clumps and I could see the grubs underneath. I treated as directed and will continue to do so. After about a month, my newly seeded lawn came back and remained healthy.

This product is so easy to use and we love that it is organic. Since applying it, we have totally eliminated the infestation of japanese beetles and have not seen a mole in years. Highly, highly recommend it!

It is way too soon because it takes a few applications before you can tell, i will know if it will work by this time next year, but i will say that i am happy with the size of the bag for the price. I'm hoping that it works because the area i live is infested with Japanese Beatles. I have a small berry farm and they are devastating my plants. And, it also is a big plus that it is an organic product!

We had such high hopes after watching a video that recommended Milky Spores. On the package it states these words; “ Long-Lasting Protection: Offers up to 10 years of protection with a single application, ensuring long-term control and prevention of grub infestations.“Well, we applied the Milky Spore in March 2024 and less than six months June 2024, the grubs along with ground moles to feast on them.UPDATE 7/8/2024I thought our adjoining neighbor used Milky Spores, they used a cheaper brand. Pictures are from the cheaper brand. On our side Milky Spores stil working,

I bought a new house and noticed a BUNCH of mole tracks in my lawn. I tried EVERYTHING you can think of for immediate results (castor oil/dish soap, vinegar, cayenne pepper, poison pellets, poison worms, traps, etc) but those little critters just wouldn't quit. I decided to buy this Milky Spore Grub Killer to hopefully help clear my lawn of moles for years to come and this is my review after using it last year.The price wasn't ideal, but I was willing to try whatever I could. The pellets were easy to spread and the bag came with enough to cover my large lawn. There was no overwhelming smell or damage to my grass after spreading.The next year, there were no mole tracks! I am thinking my lawn was extra grubby since our house attracted so many woodland critters that I was starting to wonder if I'm a Disney princess (I mean other lawns would be clear and I'd have a gaggle of rabbits, birds, squirrels, moles, you name it).I really think that this product helped for my mole problem and now I've added grub killer to my lawn maintenance routine. I would definitely recommend this based on my own personal experience.Hope this helps!

Let me start by saying " I hate grubs". 2 years ago all of a sudden my back yard was infested with grubs and yes the grubs did kill a large section of my back yard but the worst part was all the skunks and raccoons that started appearing.I soon discovered that raccoons will completely destroy your yard looking for these grubs. My yard looked like a rototiller and a plow went thru it with total devastation.I have always used Grub-X or something similar on my other yards but now I have a well and so do all my neighbors so I though I would try Milky Spore.SO here is the good and the bad about this product. The good is It does work as advertised but it doesn't eliminate grubs it doesn't kill all the grubs but it does reduce the majority of the grubs.The bad is 2 fold the price! this stuff fluctuates from $72 per bag to $42 per bag for a 20 lb bag of granules which is what I have been using.It will take multiple applications to get control of these devil grubs. I have done 2 complete applications to my entire yard and now I spot apply to any areas that start to turn brown or look like grub activity just to be safe. I never want to go back to where I was a couple years ago so I always have some on hand.Grub-X and the like will give better faster results but Milky Spore only affects the grubs and won't kill you your pets or your neighbors and doesn't pollute the ground water.

I am very confused on how I should rate this product...See this is supposed to be the powdered form of Milky Spore, only I was sent the granular twice! :PBUT as far as the powdered form goes - it's great! A pain, but once you get started it gets done. Lol!You have to put a tsp every 4 feet. It's suggested you get the dispenser, it makes the job easier, but if you would rather not - there are instructions on YouTube on how to use a coffee can, and mop handle along with a drill bit, and zip ties to make your own should you be So inclined. Milky Spore has been in use since the 1920's, the cardboard applicator has not- meaning there's more than one way to get it applied appropriately.We have 73 rose bushes, crepe myrtles, and tons of flowers, trees, bushes, etc over 3 acres. Nobody has cleared and planted this property in decades, so we are currently battling Japanese Beetles. Milky Spore is the long game.It only affects the Japanese Beetle, no other insect. It will not harm anything including water, honey bees, pets, children etc. It will last 10-25 yrs in your soil. It spreads like the plague with each Japanese Beetle grub that eats it incubating, and creating more milky Spore for other grubs to ingest and make another billion milky spores.You have to mow first, or pull your mulch to the side in the spots to be applied.A string extending 4 feet from your dispenser tied to a weight will help you measure out your next 4 feet in a checkerboard pattern.That's the powdered- The granular you use a seed spreader. Instructions are on the bag for the most popular seed spreaders.Both have to be watered in so they do not get blown away by the wind, or tracked away on feet/ tires/fur. Apply either right before the rain, or hose down.To make it easy - Apply Memorial Day Weekend, 4th of July, and Labor Day for 2 yrs.We absolutely DO recommend Milky Spore for killing Japanese Beetle Grubs!ANDWe hope our review is helpful!
