Lawn Armyworm & Lawn Beetle
As we head into Spring the focus from a lot of people is on renovating their lawn and enjoying it growing again. Spring is also the time to start considering having a preventative plan in place to avoid Lawn Armyworm and African Lawn Beetle.
First of lets discuss Lawn Armyworm, the infestation of Army Worm across Australia over the last few years has killing even the best lawn in the street. Their name says it all, imagine an army of worms working their way across your lawn at a rate of knots shredding the leaf of your lawn and leaving it for dead. 
The moth that produces Armyworm lives year round and lays its eggs all year round, although the eggs generally prefer temperatures between 23-30C for development, the eggs still develop into worms outside of this range but generally it takes a lot longer. 28C is the perfect temperature for development which means the full cycle is complete within 30 days meaning the larvae will be in overdrive during this time and in overdrive killing your lawn.
Second we have Lawn Beetle, at some stage we have all had the dreaded lawn beetle. As much as it is the beetle that does most of the damage to our lawns Spring is when they generally lay their eggs and we start to see larvae appear. 
During Spring the active numbers of Lawn Beetle are generally in decline but this is the time to strike from a preventive side.
