I'm not sure what you mean by numerous but I believe you will probably be OK with what you are doing.
University tests have shown that it may take 2 to 3 years for milky spore to build up enough concentration to be effective and even after that there is questions on its overall efficacy. http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2001.html
I have had a lot of grubs but never so many that I worry. I'm satisfied with tilling them up and disposing of them. (if you have chickens they'll gladly gobble them up for you)
Someone with more experience with organic treatments may chime in, but I think it is cheaper to chop 'em up.
