They attack grass roots. Grass growth slows and yellow patches appear. Grass is easily pulled up, with little or no root growth.

Wildlife, such as foxes and badgers, can also create a lot of damage as they dig up your lawn in search of grubs for food.

Rooks, magpies, crows and woodpeckers feeding on your lawn are a good sign of a chafer grub infestation.

Chafer beetles emerge from the lawn. They lay their eggs, which hatch into grubs feeding on the grass roots before burrowing deep into the ground. They then lie dormant deep in the soil before moving to the surface in the spring to emerge as beetles again.

If the chafer's life cycle is not broken re-infestation occurs and the problem gets progressively worse.
