Milky Spore Dispenser - On a Stick!

Milky Spore Dispenser - On a Stick!
Everything's better when it's on a stick! Here's a cheap and easy tool you can make your self to spread Milky Spore powder over your lawn.

Last fall when I was renovating my lawn I noticed some, but not a lot of grubs in some areas. Skunks were also digging up some areas to get at the grubs. They like to eat them.

After my lawn started to grow back I purchased some St. Gabriel Organics Milky Spore Powder to spread over the lawn. They also sell a Dispenser tube for Milky Spore and a spreadable Milky Spore that can be applied with your seed spreader but I didn't get either of those and need to come up with something on my own.

My solution was to poke some holes in the bottom of an old coffee can and tape it to a stick.
