🎙Early Onset Grub Treatment time!🎙
It is currently Crane Fly / Daddy long legs season. They will very soon be mating and using nearby lawns to lay their eggs. These eggs become a grub known as Leather Jackets 🪱 which can be extremely destructive to lawns. They eat the roots of the lawn, which then results in it looking patchy and bare all over. Check out the images below, as this is the consequence of having leather jackets in the lawn.
Our preventative product E.O.G.T. has proved very successful for the last three years. Hence the reason for us offering it again this year. We have the license to use this, as previously, this was only allowed for use within the farming industry.
The best time for this treatment is within the next 4 to 6 weeks as this is when they are in their early stages of growth. You may have recently noticed a lot of Crane fly activity which can be a sign of possible future problems. If you have also had leather jackets in your lawn previously, we would strongly advise speaking to our experts about the new treatment.
