Leather jacket treatment

Posted by B F on May 5, 2014 at 9:29pm

We have a customer who has a holiday home. He's just been up visiting and turns out he has leather jackets that have entirely destroyed his whole lawn - around 500 sqm.

What are our options as it would seen we've missed the nematode window til september.

    First, how have they ruined the lawn?

    Is it bird damage or grubs eating roots?

    Are you sure it's not Chafer grub damage?

    If it's crane fly, don't do anything as they will be coming out of the ground soon.....

    If it's chafer, get a lawn company to treat ASAP......

    They've killed all of the grass (bar a few small spots) which has turned black and now decaying / rotting.

    Damage is from the grubs eating the roots - no real signs of bird pulling at ground

    The turf peels back easily and they are brown grub rather than the white of the chafer

    If its crane and they'll be out soon - will they come back?
