Chafer Beetle Trap Control for Chafer Grubs in Lawns
Chafer Grub larvae can cause severe damage to lawns by killing roots, leading to yellowing turf and a spongy feeling underfoot. This damage typically occurs between autumn and spring, as the larvae mature into adult beetles.
What Are Chafer Grubs and Why Are They a Problem?
Chafer Grubs damage lawns by feeding on grass roots, resulting in unhealthy, weak turf. Predatory birds and mammals may also dig up the turf in search of the grubs, leading to further damage.
How the Chafer Beetle Trap Helps
The Chafer Beetle Trap is an effective tool for detecting and monitoring the presence of adult Chafer Beetles, the primary indicator of potential lawn damage. By catching adult beetles, it provides an early warning of Chafer Grub activity and helps reduce the population of egg-laying adults in your area.
Key Features of the Chafer Beetle Trap
- Early Detection: Catch adult Chafer Beetles and monitor activity to protect your lawn from extensive damage.
- Attractant Included: The trap comes with a powerful pheromone attractant that draws beetles in for easy capture.
- Reusable Trap: The trap is designed to be reused each year by simply replacing the attractant capsule.
- Effective Coverage: One trap covers up to 2000 sq.m (half an acre), with the attractant remaining active for up to 6 weeks.
How to Use the Chafer Beetle Trap
To use, place the trap in your lawn areas in May and hang it 25-50 cm above the ground. The trap's vanes attract the beetles, causing them to fly in and drop into the funnel trap.
