Common Lawn Pests
Get in touchUnderstanding these common pests and their life cycles is essential to effectively manage and eliminate them. These pests not only damage the aesthetic appeal of your lawn but also compromise its health and vitality.
-
Chafer Grubs
Chafer grubs are the larvae of chafer beetles. They hatch from eggs laid in the lawn and feed on grass roots, with a life cycle of 1–4 years depending on the species.
-
Leatherjackets
Leatherjackets are the larvae of crane flies. They hatch in autumn and feed on grass roots over winter, causing thinning turf and bare patches, often worsened by birds and animals digging for them.
-
Ants
Ants don’t eat grass, but their nests can disrupt soil, create mounds and bare spots, and attract other pests, leading to uneven growth and a less enjoyable lawn.
-
Worms
While worms usually help soil, their casts can create uneven patches and encourage weeds, so managing their activity helps keep your lawn smooth and healthy.
