Test for bugs
Think you might already have a bug infestation? Our best trick to find out for sure is to use the soapy water test – Simply mix some water with soap in a bucket and pour over the area you suspect is infested with bugs. Wait a few moments and any bugs in the ground will rise to the surface. This is a great opportunity to snap a quick picture and send it through to us so we can easily identify them for you.
It is best to perform this test at dawn or dusk when damaging bugs are most active in your soil and to check a few different areas of your lawn (even the healthy looking parts).
If you find active bugs in your lawn, it’s best to treat them as soon as possible. Grub Guard Ultimate and Battle Insecticide are great products to use for bug treatment and control.
