Tackling Chafer Grubs and Leather Jackets: An Opportunity for Homeowners This Season

As we move into the season when lawn pests like chafer grubs and leather jackets become a real nuisance, many homeowners will soon start to notice the tell-tale signs of damage: brown patches of grass, weakened roots, and lawns torn up by birds and other wildlife searching for these pests. For most, this is both frustrating and costly—healthy, green lawns can quickly turn patchy and unsightly when infestations strike. Fortunately, there’s an opportunity for Fullers Landscaping to step in and provide the specialist support needed.

The Problem: Costly Treatments Out of Reach for Many Homeowners

Chafer grubs and leather jackets are particularly difficult pests to tackle because they require a specific chemical treatment. Unlike standard lawn care products you might find at a garden centre, these solutions are only available in large professional-grade tubs. The cost of one of these tubs is around £800 - far too expensive for the average homeowner who only needs a small portion to treat their garden.

This is where the challenge lies: individual homeowners cannot justify spending such a significant amount for a one-off treatment. Without access to the right product, they are often left trying ineffective over-the-counter options or watching their lawns continue to deteriorate.

Fullers’ Landscaping Advantage: Licensed, Affordable, and Effective Solutions

We offer a simple but powerful solution to this problem. By purchasing the larger professional tub of treatment, we can use the same product across multiple customers’ lawns. This dramatically reduces the cost for individual homeowners, who only need to pay for the treatment used on their property rather than the full £800 investment.

Even more importantly, these treatments require a professional license to use. Fullers Landscaping holds this license, which means customers not only get access to an affordable solution but also one that is legally applied by trained experts. Many other local landscapers do not hold this license, setting Fullers apart as a trusted and fully qualified provider.

Why Now is The Time To Act

Timing is everything when it comes to tackling lawn pests. Chafer grubs and leather jackets cause the most damage at specific points in their life cycles, and applying treatments at the right time ensures the best results. Acting early this season means homeowners can prevent small issues from escalating into large-scale lawn damage that is far more costly and time-consuming to repair.
