Leather Jackets and Grounds Maintenance

Identifying Leather Jackets on Turf

Frequent pecking may damage weakened areas of grass even further.

Changes in the condition of the turf are another common indicator.
Affected areas can turn yellow, thin out, or stop growing entirely.

These pests commonly appear as long grey-brown grubs.
Their appearance is similar to a mosquito, although their movement differs slightly.

Specialists can identify damaged turf accurately and apply the correct treatment methods.

An understanding of breeding cycles allows specialists to apply treatment more effectively.

Leather Jackets Removal Explained

Early signs of infestation are not always obvious to untrained eyes.

Once inside the pest, the bacteria cause the leather jackets to weaken and here starve.

After the pests die, the nematodes continue spreading through the soil.
The biological treatment may remain active within the turf for some time.
