Can I disburse milky spore with a leaf blower or hand duster?

JerryHaskins · March 20, 2018

I have been fighting moles in my lawn and garden for decades with basically no success. I have bought and tried EVERY trap and bait and spray sold. None of it has worked.

I am now going to try the milky spore treatment to eliminate grubs.

QUESTION: Is there any reason I cannot just blow the milky spore powder around my yard with a leaf blower or a hand duster?

All of the instructions say, "Apply one teaspoon of milky spore powder to turf every 4 feet in rows 4 feet apart. It should look like a grid pattern when finished. Areas between direct applications will be inoculated naturally."

That seems kind of laborious and tedious.

Is there some reason milky spore needs to be concentrated in spots?
