Beneficial Nematodes & Milky Spore for Grubs: Get ID First

0.54 acres. Grub + Japanese beetle problem. Bought nematodes (5k sq ft), milky spore (underdosed). Jerry Baker home brews (coke, beer, soap, ammonia, corn syrup)—will they kill bio-controls?

Grub Species = Control Strategy

Different grubs, different cycles. Take grubs to Extension for ID. Learn how milky spore & nematodes work for THAT grub.

Home Brews = Unknown Risk

No science on soda/beer/soap vs. beneficials. Don't experiment.

Extension = Free, Unbiased, Current

Use them. Frustration motivates learning.

ID first. Treat right. Skip kitchen chemistry.
