Have you noticed that lots of lawns (particularly in Sydney, Australia where I live) are suffering serious lawn damage as a result of Lawn Foraging Insects?

Some people think that maybe it's just a bit of heat stress and try to fix the problem with extra watering.

However, the best thing to do is to attack the problem head on with an insecticide that targets Lawn Feeding Insects.

These insects include:

• Couch Fly, Couch Grass Mite, Curl Grub and Black Beetle attacking Couch Turf grasses
• Curl Grub, Black Beetle, Bill Bug and so on that attack all range of turf grasses including couch, kikuyu, buffalo, zoysia

In keeping with the minimal spraying approach (think Dry Lawn Care Method), we prefer to use Granular Insecticides as they are bullet proof in their control of Lawn Insects.

The benefits of using the Granular Insecticide as opposed to the Liquid ones are as follows:

• safer for customers because of the granular approach - it only has to be watered in afterwards to activate the insecticide
• safer for us because it is a granular product - this is a serious issue with Occupational Health and Safety
• gives you control over insects for longer periods - depending on quantity applied to lawns - so with a heavier dose you can extend this control period to wipe out the insects' entire lifecycle
• the granular insecticide is really effective because it is not photo degradable (that is, it does not break down in sunlight - whereas the liquid insecticides lose their potency due to breaking down in sunlight
