Leatherjackets can virtually destroy your lawn in weeks by eating the root system. In September you will normally see “daddy long legs” dancing over your lawn. They are not dancing but looking for a place to inject their larvae in order that they have access to a plentiful food source over Winter. The damage normally starts to occur from January onwards when the larvae moves higher up in the root zone and starts to devour your lawns’ roots causing immediate die back of the lawn.
