Chickens

European Chafer Beetle
The European Chafer Beetle is an invasive insect pest. Its larvae feed on the roots of grasses, causing serious damage to lawns and is often most visible when raccoons, birds and other wildlife, eager to eat the grubs, begin digging up grasses and damaging turf. Between January and March you can monitor your grass for grubs by cutting back a section of the turf and digging around in the dirt. If there are more than five grubs per section, you may want to consider Chafer Beetle control. Learn more about management and treatment here. Some treatments required watering - view watering restrictions and exemptions information here.
