LAWN GRUB SEASON

Lawn grub is a name that covers a wide variety of creepy crawlies that invade your lawn. Scarab Grubs, Mealy bug, Army Worm and African Black Beetle are just a few of the lawn pests that we see in unprotected lawns each year. HERE’S SOME SIGNS TO LOOK OUT FOR:

1. BROWN PATCHES IN YOUR LAWN

Lawn grubs feed off the root system of your turf, this prevents all the nutrients in your soil getting to the turf leaf so brown patches in your lawn can indicate that grubs are present. .

2. WASP ACTIVITY

If Army Worm are attacking your lawn, you will notice large orange wasps start to hover around your turf. They are looking for the Army Worm & Army Worm Pupa to lay their egg's in.

3. MOTH ACTIVITY

When Army Worm mature they turn into moths, these moths then lay eggs in your turf, under your gutters and in every corner of your property, starting the life cycle starts all over again. If you see lots of moths hovering above your lawn it’s likely you have had or will have lawn grubs soon.

4. INCREASED BIRD ACTIVITY ON YOUR LAWN

If birds are pecking at your lawn a lot more lately, it’s likely there’s some juicy grubs in your turf that they’re snacking on.

HOW TO STOP LAWN GRUBS

The best way to deal with Lawn Grubs is to apply preventative treatments every 8-10 weeks during the grub season. Jack says " This has been the worst Lawn Grub season that we have experienced in over a decade. The last season this bad was in 2011 around the time of the last floods. People should know that we are not out of the grub season yet, and given the recent rain and humidity that we have had, we may yet see another surge of lawn grubs this season".
