Pest Prevention

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

• Use one of the following preventatives:'Richgro Ant Killa', ‘Richgro 5kg Lawn Beetle And Grub Killa’ or ‘Scotts Lawn Builder + Grub and Insect Control’ when fertilising

• (Fertliser + grub control is NOT for Zoysia Matrella)

• *Bifenthrin is the ingredient to deter pests

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