How To Get Rid Of Leatherjackets In Your Lawn

So, this is officially my first ever public YouTube video, so be easy on me. In this video, I show you how I have managed to keep leatherjackets at bay for the past 8 years now using Nematodes.

Leatherjackets are an unwelcome pest that many lawn owners will find in their lawns. They are the larvae of craneflies (daddy long legs to us UK folk) which feed on the roots of the turf. If you notice that your lawn is patchy, yellow in places and generally has a very weak root system, then you may have an infestation of leatherjackets.

If you are looking to give this a try yourself, here are links to the products discussed in the video:

I hope this video has been useful and please do leave me your comments as I would love to hear your experience of getting rid of these little pests and if you have any further tips that I didn't discuss.  Thanks for watching!
