Pest Prevention

Don't let pests ruin your lawn!!

Please read our Pest Control Guide carefully to prevent or combat any unwanted guests.

​

Here in the Northern Territory Army Worm is a common problem.
More common in the wet season as they love the warmer climate.

  • Army worms are attracted from miles away to fresh lawn and fresh lawn shoots, either recently acquired or recently fertilised. (Just like throwing a fresh bale of hay in a drought ridden paddock)

​

  • The moths are widespread in suburban areas as they are attracted to lights.

​

  • Watch out for damaged / brown patches in your lawn

​

  • Preventative: *Bifenthrin or Acelepryn are used to deter pests 

​

  • When ready to fertilise use​
    ‘Scotts Lawn Builder + Grub and Insect Control’​​

​
*Please Note:  While on the farm all turf is regularly treated for grub prevention.
