How to Use Milky Spore to Get Rid of Japanese Beetles

- This video will show you how to properly apply milky spore to your lawn and garden to get rid of invasive and destructive Japanese beetles. Milky spore is non-toxic to humans, pets, and other insects and plants. It only effects Japanese beetles by killing the grubs that are in the soil. After the grubs die, they decay and re-infect the soil with more spores, which continue to kill future generations of grubs for up to 10 years. However, you need to apply milky score correctly to be effective. This video will show you how. I'll also share how important it is to root out bitterness from your heart in order to maintain healthy relationships.
Build a better milky spore applicator:
4-5 feet of 1.5 inch diameter PVC pipe
1.5 inch PVC coupler
The lid from a 6 ounce can of tomato paste (Or cut a piece of carboard or plastic lid from a pringles can or coffee can to fit snugly inside the 1.5 inch PVC coupler.)
1. Drill 9 1/8 inch holes in the tomato paste lid.
2. Insert the lid inside the PVC coupler until it rest against the lip in the middle of the coupler.
3. Place the coupler on the end of the PVC pipe with the lid trapped between the lip in the middle of the coupler and the end of the PVC pipe.
I will release a video showing how to build this on 10-28-22 - • How to Build a Better,...
We have Japanese beetles this summer - and it’s a complete infestation! Ugh. Thanks so much for sharing this product and the great bitterness message too! Great analogy between the grubs and bitterness of the heart!
@privateprivate1914 glad it was helpful. Remember it's a long game. We've seen a reduction in beetles every year so far.
Thank you! I subscribed to your channel. 👍 Our family is new to the south (Alabama) and never had these in Southern California. Big learning curve here! So many types of bugs here 😊
@@privateprivate1914 welcome home!
You are a naturally gifted teacher...thank you from Fayetteville, NC.
Thank you so much!
If you have to wear all of that protective equipment to apply it, I'm super concerned what it will do to my pets.
It will be fine for your pets. They say it can be a skin irritant if you get a lot of it directly on your skin, in your eyes, or on your nose. Same would be true of any fine dust/powder. I'm not that sensitive and I would be fine without any protective gear. In fact, I didn't use any the last time I applied.
So what month do I apply and once or twice a year? Love your video!
@brendaperez8581 thanks! Apply in September or October, and you can reapply in March as an added measure.
There are natural predators for the grubs....crows, turkeys, chickens, moles, voles etc etc eat the grubs and all kinds of birds eat the adults
That's true. I guess it's a bit of an overstatement to say there are no natural predators. I guess it would be more accurate to say these particular grubs/beetles are not a natural part of the food chain in our area. One thing is for sure, the predators in our area do not keep up with the population of these beetles. They get out of balance really fast.
Thanks for the information on the Beatles and thank you for the message for today. 🙏🏽

Does it kill June bugs too? I hear it kills Japanese beetles but a grub is a grub isn't it?
No. It only kills Japanese beetles grubs.
Love the scripture at the end.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Blessings!
grubGONE! and beetleGONE! are better choices: There's microbial (bacteria-based) products now on the market other than Milky Spore that have very strong track records of turf grub and adult beetle control. As with Milky Spore, these two products are formulated as both sprayable and spreadable products. Also like Milky Spore, these products are classified as: 1). “Non-chemical” or more correctly “Biologicals” because they are based on molecules found in biology rather than produced through traditional chemistry in the lab 2). a subset of Biologicals known as “Microbials” because they are based on bacteria, 3). also “Natural” or “Non-Genetic Engineered” or “non-Genetically Modified Organism” since the bacterial genetics has not been altered via biotechnological tools, and 4). “Organic” or “OMRI-certified” since the product active ingredient and formulation ingredients pass the review by OMRI of their standards. In addition, beetleGONE! is also categorized as “For Organic Production” since it has passed a rigorous review by the EPA of performance standards and all required toxicology studies (possessing no toxicity) vs mammal, fish, birds, water invertebrates (aquatic wildlife low-end food chain), non-target insects (ie beneficials such as bees, butterflies, beneficial wasps, etc) and also rigorous review of formulation ingredient for safety/organic compliance also conducted by the EPA. NOW for the major improvements over Milky Spore: 1). grubGONE! and beetleGONE! products control all types of species of turf grubs not just Japanese Beetle grubs: ie Asiatic Garden Beetle, European Chafer, Rose Chafer, May or June Beetle, Northern Masked Chafer, Southern Masked Chafer, Black Turfgrass Ataenius, Green June Beetle, Oriental Beetle and Cock Chafer. Each region of the US has a mixture of at least 3 of the above scarab species except for the Rocky Mountains which is primarily only Japanese Beetle (JB). Milky Spore does not control any of these other species. While it is true that JB is a major and most notable foliar feeder that devastates 300+ edible and ornamental plants in the US and Canada, many of the other species are now spreading rapidly and cause high levels of damage as well ie Rose Chafer. Milky Spore will not help you cut down the number of these other types/species of grubs and beetles. 2). Milky Spore also only works at some level against the larva (grub) part of the life cycle. It does not have any effect on the devastating adult beetles which will not only destroy a garden/crop but then lay eggs which will hatch out in late summer to repopulate your lawn and garden. These 2 products are vast improvements over Milky Spore and actually compete head-to-head with the performance of the leading chemical products (ie Bayer Advanced - imidacloprid and Scotts GrubEx - acelepryn) and are used with high success by Professional Landscapers, Lawn Care Operators, Arborists and Farmers/Growers across the US and Canada. grubGONE! and beetleGONE! are now available for Homeowners and Garden Enthusiasts. grubGONE! is for organic lawn care. Easy to apply granule. Highly effective in controlling all types of scarab beetle grubs (such as Chafers, Japanese Beetle), billbugs and bluegrass weevils in lawns without harming homeowners, pets, pollinators, earthworms, birds and does not contaminate water. It's the only Non-Chemical that Effectively Controls Turf Grubs, Spring through Fall: not only effective against newly-hatched 1st instar grubs but also larger and hardier 2nd and 3rds. beetleGONE! is a spray for highly effective organic control of adult beetles, weevils and borers without harming bees, butterflies and ladybugs. For organic gardening and production. Mix in water and spray on edible garden plants, ornamental plants, trees or turf. beetleGONE! can also be mixed into or sprayed on potting or garden soil to control beetle grubs. With a zero-day preharvest interval you can treat for beetles and harvest your food the same day. And there are no label restrictions for use around bees or flowering plants; therefore, beetleGONE! can be safely used while pollinators are active. btw - these products also contain high numbers (counts) of microbial spores that Milky Spore users/customers/advocates like.... in fact according to the labels of the comparable products, beetleGONE! and grubGONE! contain at least a 1000x more spores per gram of product than the Milky Spore Products.........grubGONE! and beetleGONE! possess all the upsides of Milky Spore and much, much more......
Thanks for the info
@@pastorchrismullis You bet Chris. Nice, informative vid. Keep up the good work. Thank You.
So what do I do in the meantime before August?
Neem oil cold pressed, bucket with dawn and water and shake them off plants into the bucket, Sevin for roses
I really enjoyed the video and message!!
Thanks for watching! Glad it was meaningful!
Couldn't you use a hose end sprayer?
Milky spore is a dry powder and not water soluble. I don't think that would work.

yes but we can be bitter against sinfulness in general and not relating to a personal offense grudge. God is angry with the wicked every day and if we are like him, we would also be that same.
Love the sinner. Hate the sin. Plus, I would caution against bitterness in any case. Bitterness is a poison that will rob you of joy while usually doing nothing at all to the sinner. I'll leave that in God's hands. It's too big for me.
@@pastorchrismullis One can both love and hate the sinner like God does and should do so if they are one with God. The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. God hates all workers of iniquity and yet loves them enough to die for them simultaneously.
