Small white moths lay eggs in trees and other objects overhanging near the turf. Eggs take 3-10 days to hatch and the young lavae drop to the turf. They seem to prefer to stay together, moving forward as they strip the foliage. The older lavae are easier to see and usually hide in the tatch and plant debris during the day. Sir Walter Pest Control can be applied as per the directions to treat the grubs. Generally a minimum of 3 applications every 2-3 days is required to totally elimate the infestation. Do be warned though, erradicating the grubs does not mean that they will not return. If you still have healthy lush patches of lawn, you are still at risk & need to keep your eye out for further attacks. To restore your lawn prior to winter, best to fertilise with 'Sir Walter' slow release NPK fertiliser to promote new leaf growth. Both the Sir Walter Pest Control & Sir Walter NPK Fertiliser are available from out online store or Big W stores nationally SPRING TIME CARE September 1, 2007 Now is the time when you should give your lawn a good fertilise with 'Sir Walter' NPK fertiliser. This will help speed up new growth and help to establish strong roots for the hotter summer months. If you are experiencing any "sponginess" in your lawn, this is due to a build up of thatch. To alleviate this, give your lawn a good haircut right back to the runners. You may need to mow it a couple of times to achieve this. Once this is done, fertilise and water it well, to promote speedy regrowth. It is also a good time to top dress your lawn if you wish to reduce any unevenness in the ground surface. Mow and fertilise your lawn first and then top dress with coarse river sand, remembering not to cover the entire leaf tip to allow the grass to grow through.
