Do not dump bucket until the beetles are dead. Knock beetles off into bucket of water and allow them to drown.

Identification of White Grubs in Turfgrass The grubs are easier to ID then you think. If there are other grubs (and there are a few other very numerous ones, you just don't see the adults because they fly at night) milky spore will not work on them, it only works only on Japanese beetle grubs. You want to make sure Japanese beetle grubs are in the soil you are treating. One thing i would do before you do any kind of treatment is do a little digging in the yard and see what kind of grubs you have in the lawn. SO you may treat this year and think you got great results when it may not be your treatment, might be the weather. I bet they will not be so bad next year, if you treat or not. Keep in mind that the out break this year is part of a cycle for the Japanese beetles.

I still have beetles, but about half as many as last year. I put one in a wooded lot at the end of our road - with permission of the owner. Traps placed any closer will attract them to your garden and make the situation worse. If you have a place at least an acre away from your garden, traps help too. Sometimes they don't know what's eating their plants. You can also educate your neighbors if the topic of Japanese beetles comes up. You can also toss a little over there (when neighbor is not looking ) Every little bit helps! Then you have more spores! These eventually get to the neighbor's yard if you are patient. When the grub dies, it eventually bursts open from the increased spores. It eventually will end up in the neighbor's lawn, because when the grubs eat this stuff, the spores multiply inside the grub. I also apply heavily along the property line. It is best if neighbors do it to, but it still helps. I buy the stuff that comes in a bag that can be used in a spreader. I applied milky spore twice 2 years ago and once last year.
