Chafer Beetle grubs, if they are left un-treated, can cause severe damage to lawns and will then over winter deeper in the soil, ready to cause more damage the following spring. They cause lawns to develop yellow patches where the roots have been eaten by the grubs of the Chafer Beetles. In severe cases the roots are completely destroyed and the turf can be pulled up easily to reveal no roots! Secondary damage from birds and animals is just as destructive, as they often dig up lawns looking for the grubs to eat.

Chafer Beetles lay their eggs in grass or Turf in the early summer, these eggs then develop into Chafer grub, which can cause significant damage from Autumn to Spring when the larvae have become fully grown. The Grubs are white with a brown head. These grubs are usually present from early August and can be treated with nematodes from early August to early October.

Chafer Grub Killer is harmless to children and pets plus there is no chemical alternative.

Product should only be applied from late July to early October when the young grubs are active and the soil temperature is above 12C.
