Lawn Beetles
Many people worry about lawn beetles. The larvae of these black beetles tunnel in the soil under lawns and people worry about the damage that they do.
My lawn is full of lawn beetle larvae (called white curl grubs), yet the lawn itself is very healthy. A lawn that is watered occasionally and fertilized once a year normally is not greatly damaged by lawn beetles. My local magpies usually dig most of them up anyway.
Lawn beetle sprays are not very successful and they are bad for the environment, so learn to live with lawn beetles.
Maybe you could rent a power aerator and aerate the lawn – this is a far better alternative.
Hooroo! Don.
