I'm about 20 miles north of Boston and all I can say is that it won't hurt
to put down the milky spore. For some reason I think that the spore may not
survive the winter where we are?? Maybe, but not sure.

Good luck

I'm thinking about using milky spores for grub control in a lawn I seeded
last
year. I don't have any problems now, but multiple people in the
neighborhood
have lost their entire lawns to grubs. My current plan is to use Bayer
with
Merit until I get the milky spore disease established. A couple of
questions:

1) On a couple of milky spore websites, they say that it'll take 3-5 years
to
get the milky spore disease established in New England (colder climates).
How
can you tell when it's "established" and it's safe to stop applying it?

2) Has anyone else in New Hampshire had any experiences (good or bad)
they'd
like to share?

Thanks!
