Camberley Chafer Grub Control

Chafer grubs are a common garden pest. They are not harmful to humans, nevertheless they can cause serious damage to grass. Chafer grubs are the larvae of adult chafer beetles. The beetles themselves aren’t usually a problem, but it’s the grubs which eat away at the roots of grass. A few of these grubs will not generally have an effect on the lawn, but in considerable numbers they cause considerable harm.

Furthermore, when chafer grubs are present in huge numbers they may attract other predatory animals such as birds, foxes or badgers, and it’s these animals which frequently cause substantial damage to lawns as they dig it up to consume the grubs. Often, it is the signs of these secondary animals having torn up a big area of lawn that alerts homeowners to the presence of chafer grubs.

Expert pest control companies can advise you of the best way to control a chafer grub infestation on your lawn. This might involve deterrents such as lawn care or using bait traps which attract the adult bugs. Over time these traps can considerably reduce the population of chafer grubs, bringing it back to a manageable level.
