Targeting and eliminating immature forms of beetles that reside in the soil, especially those feeding on turfgrass roots, is a common objective for lawn care professionals and homeowners. These soil-dwelling larvae can cause significant damage to lawns by severing the roots, leading to dead patches and weakened turf.
A healthy, vibrant lawn provides aesthetic appeal and enhances property value. Preventing or addressing damage inflicted by subterranean pests contributes to this outcome, reducing the need for costly repairs and promoting long-term lawn health. Historically, various methods have been employed to manage these pests, ranging from cultural practices to chemical applications.
