PROTECT YOUR LAWN 
The grub of the Japanese beetle which hatches from eggs laid in the soil by the adult 
beetle lives in the soil for about ten months and feeds on the roots of grass in your 
lawn. Kill these grubs in the soil with JAPIDEMIC (milky disease spore dust) before 
they destroy your lawn, and prevent them from developing into adult beetles. 






APIDEMIC 
MILKY DISEASE SPORE DUST 
REMAINS VIRULENT AND EFFECTIVE 
IN THE SOIL FOR MANY YEARS 
JAPIDEMIC (milky disease spore dust) is a 
biological product containing not less than 100 
million spores per gram of the bacterium Bacil- 
lus popilliae, which causes the milky disease 
of Japanese beetle grubs. The spores of this 
tiny organism remain alive in the soil for long 
periods of time to kill enormous numbers of 
Japanese beetle grubs as they move about in 
the soil feeding on the roots of grass in your 
lawn. 

After a Japanese beetle grub has become in- 
fected with the milky disease the bacteria 
multiply rapidly in its body and soon cause 
its death. Each grub of the Japanese beetle 
that dies from the milky disease leaves 3 to 
9 billion more of the living spores of the dis- 
ease producing organism in the soil thereby 
establishing another fatal focus of the disease 
to infect and kill succeeding generations of 
grubs of the Japanese beetle year after year. 
GRUBS OF THE JAPANESE BEETLE 
WHEN PRESENT IN LARGE NUMBERS 
WILL COMPLETELY DESTROY YOUR 
LAWN. TREAT YOUR LAWN IN THE 
SUMMER, SPRING, OR FALL AND 
KILL THE GRUBS OF THE JAPANESE 
BEETLE IN THE SOIL.
