Our lawn pest control services can help manage the number of pests in your lawn while improving the overall health of the grass. We can also relieve stress and help your lawn recover from damage caused by common lawn pests such as chafer grubs and leatherjackets.
You might notice leatherjacket grubs emerging from the grass or spot damage along the edges of your lawn. In the early stages of infestation, they feed on the grass roots, starting from the outer edges and working their way inward. The leatherjacket lifecycle begins when the female lays her eggs in the lawn around September. These hatch after 2–3 weeks. By February or March, the pests will have matured, and the damage will be more severe. Simply put, the more leatherjackets you see on the surface of the lawn, the larger the infestation. The most effective time to treat them is when the grubs are still small.
(Did you know? The adult is known as the crane fly or daddy long legs, and the larvae stage of the life cycle is called a leatherjacket.)
When your lawn is affected by chafer grub damage, you may notice certain areas losing their vibrant green color, turning pale instead. This often appears as irregular patches. Additionally, damage caused by birds, badgers, and other wildlife that dig up the lawn to feed on the grubs can make things worse. If you lift a section of your lawn and it comes away easily from the soil, revealing grubs near the surface, it’s a strong sign of a chafer grub infestation that may require professional pest management treatment.
The period between mid-July and October is when chafer grubs are most active. However, depending on weather conditions, this period can extend further. Treating them at this stage is most effective because they are still small.
We provide a variety of pest management treatments specifically designed to deter lawn pests and bugs, helping to minimize damage and promote lawn recovery.
The severity of the infestation and the stage of the grubs’ lifecycle will determine the most effective treatment. We offer several targeted solutions:
As the name suggests, this pest control treatment creates a protective barrier for the grass, guarding against damage caused by common lawn pests in the UK. The product we use is highly effective in reducing the grub population, helping to prevent further damage and supporting healthy lawn growth for the next season.
Our TerraPulse Treatment supports the recovery of your grass after a pest attack. This treatment can also deter pests from feeding on the grass, helping to prevent further damage.
Our Nematode Lawn Pest Control Treatment helps manage the grub population in your lawn. Nematodes are microscopic worms applied to the lawn when the grubs are still small. This is an effective treatment that helps control the grub population.
We carefully assess your lawn’s condition and recommend the most suitable treatment or combination of treatments based on your lawn’s specific needs. Treating grubs at an early stage significantly improves the speed and success of your lawn’s recovery process. In addition to our pest control treatments, our regular solutions also support the recovery process, helping your lawn return to its lush, healthy state.
