Autumn Lawn Pests & Diseases

Autumn has soon come upon us and with it brings a variety of potential threats to the welfare of our lawns. At this time of the year it is not uncommon to expect to see a range of fungal problems including red thread and fairy rings. Pests such as chafer grubs (shown above), leatherjackets and even detrimental bi-products of beneficial organisms, i.e worm castings, will all be active. Please read on for more information on Autumn Lawn Pests and Diseases.

Although the odds are not stacked in our favour, and it is very likely that one may receive one or several of these problems, Autumn is a good time to repair damage caused by fungal diseases and pests. Treatments will have time to take effect before temperatures fall and growth ceases.

Joe’s Lawn Care specialise in the treatment of all pests and diseases discussed, although some there are no effective or guaranteed ‘cure’. But what we will do is advise you the best we can, so if you happen to notice something irregular on your lawn this Autumn then give us a call and we will diagnose and repair.
