Gardening A-Z
Grass grubs leave small holes in the grass which look like a pencil has been stabbed into the grass.
The problem is, by the time you spot the signs of grass grubs the damage is already done. To prevent grass grubs in the future apply a soil insect killer to your lawn and water in around April.
To discourage weeds and maintain a thick, dence turf don’t cut the grass too short as this weakens it and mow at the recommended height for your grass.
Rather than slugs, it is more likely you have porina or grass grubs at this time of the year. They are both very common at the moment...
