Get Chafer Grubs estimate today!
Chafer grubs are a regular lawn pest. They aren’t hazardous to humans, but they can cause considerable destruction of grass. Chafer grubs are the larvae of adult chafer beetles. The beetles themselves are not usually a problem, but it is the grubs which eat away at the roots of grass. A few of these grubs won’t affect the garden, but in large numbers they cause serious damage.
There are very few ways of treating chafer grubs as many pesticides and insecticides are illegal to be used in this way. As chafer grubs can occupy a big area, any harmful pesticides will have an enormous impact on the local ecosystem. There are a few granular form pesticides which you can use and these are effective at removing chafer grub infestations, although they usually require several applications. There’s also biological ways of controlling chafer grubs which use nematodes to deliver a fatal bacterial infection to the grubs.
Experienced pest control companies can advise you of the best way to control a chafer grub infestation on your lawn. This could include deterrents such as lawn care or using bait traps which attract the adult insects. Over time these traps can considerably reduce the population of chafer grubs, bringing it back to a controllable level.
