Symptoms
Our “gogga” of the month for January is the lawn caterpillar which often leaves patches of brown or dead lawn
What does this mean for me/my plants?
These caterpillars work mainly at night, and eat the roots of the grass, eventually resulting in large patches of dead lawn
Suggested Action
To check for lawn catepillar: Place a wet towel on lawn overnight and check in the morning – they will stick to the unsderside of the towel. Spray when infestation is noted. Use a general insecticide registered for lawn caterpillar. Visit your local GCA garden centre forย advice on the best solution for you!
