Default leather jackets

...
The front lawn at home has been devastated by what we think is
leatherjackets.
Trouble is no garden centre seems to have the stuff to get rid of them.
Any thoughts on how to clear the lawn affected (its about 2 metres by 1
metre so quite small - neighbour similarly affected).
Thanks

I think starlings are the chief predator for these, so instead of chemicals
try breadcrumbs, cooked rice - and patience. It takes them a while to see a
new feeding place :-)
