Milky Spore is a safe simple spore affecting some 47different varieties of white beetle grubs found in the United States including June Beetle or May Fly Beetle grubs.Only one treatment is necessary: Milky Spores are remarkably resistant to adverse weather conditions and remain viable in the soil for many years. Normal spread of the spores takes place as each infected larva dies,decomposes and releases billions of new spores into the soil. Time must be allowed for this process to effectively saturate a treated area, but only one application is required and the spores continue to multiply on their own,season after season, as long as larvae are present. Once the beetle larvae are completely destroyed, the spores remain dormant in the soil for years waiting to go to work again as soon as new larvae appear.Milky Spore is compatible with fungicides, fertilizers,pesticides and other lawn chemicals. Milky Spore Powder contains natural bacteria which infect white grubs (Japanese Beetle Larvae) in the soil of your lawn and garden. The spore is not known to be affected by these materials, and, may in fact,be applied to the soil at the same time. Apply anytime the ground is not frozen, Spring, Summer, or Fall.Adult Japanese Beetles lay eggs in open grassy areas. The eggs hatch into grubs which eat the roots of the grass during the growing season, and can cause extensive bare spots. Grubs grow into beetles which destroy foliage,fruit, and flowers.Japanese beetles feed on more than 275 different plants,shrubs and trees causing millions of dollars in damage to lawns, trees and ornamentals each year. Their rampant destruction is best prevented by attacking the larva, which is the weakest link in the life cycle of the beetle. Milky Spore does NOT infect European rose chafers.
