A turf pest is simply a small creature that lives in your lawn and feeds on your grass and grass roots. They can cause significant damage and discoloration and can ultimately kill your lawn if left untreated.
Pests like Chafer grubs, leather jackets are common in new lawns. These two common species of garden pests can wreak havoc on your lawn by attacking the grass root or encouraging birds, badgers and foxes to dig for grubs. If you see a lot of animal activity on your lawn or birds digging and feeding on the grubs then you may have a pest problem.
