Got moles or armadillos? Maybe it is really Japanese Beetle grubs!

Japanese Beetles are an invasive species, They do a great deal of damage to lawns and landscaping, but one of the worst problems with them is that their larvae, or grubs, live underground in large numbers and attract moles, armadillos, skunks, and other digging wildlife. Although I have not tried them, I can only assume they are tasty!
Predator Impact will happily trap and relocate the offending diners, but if you eliminate the grubs, the problem is greatly reduced, often even eliminated. No more animals digging from both above and below to eat the grubs.
You could spray your yard every year with toxic chemicals to kill the grubs...and spray it again next year and the next. Even if you are careful though, you still have toxic run off into the environment.
We think we have a better way!
Someone asked the question "If Japanese beetles come from Japan, why aren't they a problem there?" They went to Japan and found a highly specialized bacteria called "Milky Spore" in the soil. (Despite the word "Spore" in its name, it is a bacteria, not a fungus) The Milky Spore bacteria is completely harmless to all forms of life EXCEPT Japanese beetle grubs.
If you eat it, it is harmless; if your dog eats it, it is completely harmless; if it runs off into the river and the fish eat it, its completely harmless, but to a Japanese beetle grub, it is deadly.
It is a dry granule like fertilizer. You apply six treatments to your lawn. Three times a year for two years. You will begin to see improvement after the first treatment, and once the bacteria is established in your soil, the protection last for a minimum of 20 years with no additional treatments.
For a standard city lot sized yard, each treatment is $150, so over the course of two years, your will invest $900 and will have a much better lawn, with far less digging from moles, armadillos, etc. If the protection lasts 20 years, that is only $45 per year of protection.
Got a problem with animals digging in your yard? Call Predator Impact to discuss treating the lawn with Milky Spore. The conversation is free and we'll happily help you understand the positive aspects of using Milky Spore to eliminate the grubs that attract the digging animals.
