Naturally, there are some bugs that are completely safe for your lawn and even beneficial in a number of circumstances. Likewise, there are also bugs that can cause trouble for your lawn as well.Chafer grubs, dung beetles and stag beetles all have similar looking grubs. Only those grubs found in turf are likely to be chafers damaging lawn roots For this method, you’ll need to make sure the insecticide is able to soak down into the soil where the grub worms live. To do this, after you apply the insecticide, you’ll need to water the area well and continue watering it every four days or so. There are several types of insecticides available for grub worms. Always make sure to read instructions carefully. Remember, many garden grubs are a food source for numerous other creatures such as birds, badgers, foxes etc… and when we have plenty of predatory wildlife around, those grubs numbers should never be able to get out of control. British wildlife is under threat. The animals and plants that make our island unique are facing a fight to survive. Hedgehog habitats are disappearing, porpoises are choking on plastic and ancient woodlands are being paved over. Grubs (phyllophaga) are the larval or immature form of certain beetle species. These C-shaped critters are white and wrinkly. Measuring from ¼ to more than one inch in length, they have soft, bodies with legs near their heads. Grubs are often considered the most reviled lawn pests in the region because their presence can go undetected until significant damage is already done. They live in soil and feed on the tender roots of your grass.

Despite the mounting pressures, hope is not lost. Museum scientists are working hard to understand and fight against the threats facing British wildlife. Brown, Joanna Cullen, Review of Thomas Hardy: Cent Poèmes. Anthologie bilingue (Les Editions de L’Aire, Vevey, 2008) by Eric Christen, Françoise Baud, The Hardy Society Journal, Vol. 4, No. 3 (Autumn 2008), pp. 87 Each June bug starts as a pearl-like egg laid in the soil. Each egg hatches into a c-shaped larva known commonly as a white grub. White grubs feed on the roots of plants, disrupting the uptake and transport of water and nutrients.

In fact, there are thousands of types of bugs and other insects that can cause damage to your lawn and negatively affect its appearance.

Often attracted to light, these beetles appear during the spring evenings. June bugs can be identified by their brown bodies and shiny brown wings and range from one half to one inch long. Grubs hatch from the eggs the adult female beetles usually lay in the soil around the end of spring to mid-summer. After the grub worms hatch, they begin to feed until fall when they burrow deep into the soil for winter. In spring, they emerge again to feed on the surface of the soil until they change into pupae and then emerge as adults. What Do Giant Lawn Grub Worms Turn Into?Grub worms coming from this beetle are most common in the Northeastern United States and can be found in parts of Canada and other isolated areas in the rest of the states. Cream-colored with brown heads, six short legs, and curled up into their signature C-shape, grub worms dwell below the grass in lawns throughout the United States. After a couple of weeks when your lawn is well and truly dead, remove the turf. You can do this with a spade or turfing iron. If you have a large area of lawn, you can hire a turf cutter. Step 3: Rotovate or Dig the Turf Crane fly larvae often have fleshy lobes at end of their abdomens. The distinct head is completely hidden within the thorax. These dingy gray larvae live in decaying organic matter. These scarab beetles are found mostly in eastern United States. Like its Japanese cousin, the Asiatic beetle was accidentally brought from Asia in the early 1900s and has flourished in North America. Also similar to Japanese beetles, they can cause damage as both grubs and adults. Unlike Japanese beetles, the adult beetles are more active at night and are attracted to light.
