Hi All
I out down Blood and bone and chemical fertilizer and my lawn was
looking
great, gave it plenty of water, but then brown patches started to
appear
and spread , is this some kind of grub.
thanks in anticipation

i live in perth, and every summer we have to treat the lawns for
blackbettle. dunno the technical names, but they love eating the grass
roots. and the healthy lawn dies for no reason.

check out bunnings. they have heaps of stuff for black beetle. best i have
found is baythroid. once asummer at start ofsummer. and bingo.. u will
find
hundreds of black bettles come up and die. also i believe that washing up
water wiht detergent in it brings them out too.

goodluck

Yep I thing that is what I have got.
I did got some chemical from Bunnings called (Brunnings Grub Destroyer)
which I put down just before my post, and that seem to have stopped the
spread, the grass is growing back but I think I may be left with a few dead
patches.
Thanks for the conformation
