I tried milky spore seven years ago. I only treated my own lawn, but others treat their lawns for "grubs". (I'm well into suburbia.) I don't have many japanese beetles. My father, 1/2 mile away, has a lot more. Hard to say if it worked.

The Extension people for Madison (WI) area recommend that if you can get the entire
neighborhood, including the local parks & golf courses, to apply milky-spore, some
control would be noticed.

"Maybe next year". Tried it again 2 years ago and still hoping. Don't know
how far those things can fly - they may come in from elsewhere.. Never
tried nematodes - seem pretty expensive. Hector Black zone 6 middle TN

Have you tried Milky spore or parasitic nematodes for Japanese beetle
control? Oddly, the milky spore disease hasn't worked in trials in the
Midwest, but succeeds farther east...
