Please inform your lawn care company of the important step to water in the spore before they cut your lawn. Otherwise the lawn mower blades might accidentally pick up the spore and carry it off your lawn thereby wasting it and necessitating retreatment. If, on any given day, you or your lawn mowing company see the white powder spots in uniform rows across your lawn and flower beds (if you signed up for a treatment by St Gabriel Labs), then please water the spore into the ground - first - before mowing. (3) Continue your lawn mowing schedule, as you normally would, except for one thing. (2) The powder spore should be placed one teaspoonful for every four feet or less in a grid pattern across your entire yard, flower beds, and on the sunny side of your tree save area. Water the powder spore thoroughly into the soil so that the grubs can find the spore at the grass root level and eat it successfully. The spore could die if left out under the hot UV rays of sunlight too long, thereby necessitating retreatment.

In some Virginia/Maryland/DC communities, it has been known to last for 15 to 20 years.ĭon't miss the opportunity to have your lawn treated this year. After Milky spore has been established (within 1 to 3 years), it is guaranteed by St Gabriel Labs to last at least 10 years.
