Coulsdon Chafer Grub Control

Chafer grubs are a typical grass pest. They are not hazardous to humans, nevertheless they can cause serious destruction of grass. Chafer grubs are the larvae of adult chafer beetles. The beetles themselves are not usually an issue, but it’s the grubs which eat away at the roots of grass. A few of these grubs won’t affect the lawn, but in huge numbers they cause serious destruction.

Furthermore, when chafer grubs are present in large numbers they might attract other predatory animals such as birds, foxes or badgers, and it’s these animals which often cause considerable damage to lawns as they dig it up to consume the grubs. Generally, it’s the signs of these secondary animals having torn up a big area of turf that alerts homeowners to the presence of chafer grubs.
