Lawn being eaten

50Twuncle

Our lawn is being eaten from within - by cranefly larvae
I think that the only answer is to employ several million namatodes - unless it is too late

Any advice welcome
Cranefly (daddy longlegs) lay their egg which pupate into HUNGRY larvae which then munch on the grass roots - leaving large expanses of dead grass !!

Getting too near to frosty nights for the nematode approach possibly.

if only they ate couch grass......

Try the old trick of laying a plastic sheet or tarp on the grass overnight , lift it in the morning and the larvae can be gathered up unless the blackbirds that love them get there first. do the lawn in stages.
