How do I get rid of Lawn Grubs / Army Worms Lawn Grubs are a seasonal issue and, unfortunately, they can effect your lawn several times during each summer and Autumn Season. Often you don’t see the caterpillars as they feed at night, however you may notice moths and wasp type insects flying over your lawn which is often an indication of a lawn grub problem. If the grass is loose and you can easily pull it away from the roots it’s invariably grub damage. If you notice brown and straw like patches in your lawn or the leaves on your lawn’s grass runners are disappearing, then you may well have a lawn grub infestation. They hatch after 5 to 7 days and that’s when the major damage to your lawn is done. The worms themselves can be green, brownish green or black in appearance and sometimes even have a striped appearance. All of these lawn grubs cause similar issues on your otherwise healthy lawn.
Lawn Grub is a collective term that describe Army Worms, Sod Web-worm and Cutworms. Lawn grubs are leaf eating caterpillars, the larvae of an adult moth. If you notice a patch of lawn that is slightly shorter or thinner or that looks like it might have been recently mown (but you know it hasn’t) you could have army worm. Sadly their favourite lawn is a healthy one. Army worm or sod web worm can be really bad news and can attack all sorts of lawns right across Australia.
