a lawn which has died for no apparent reason. When we dug up some
of the soil, there were many brown/tan coloured pupae and caterpillars.
Could these be the cause of the grass dying? We now have a weedy
soil area instead of a lawn."
It sounds like
you have grubs 'yuk' we had the same experience. I heard it takes
a good 5 years to kill the grubs. Soon after my
husband had figured out what the problem was he was told to use
a lawn ferterlizer that had a weed/'bug' killer in it. The grass
did grow back fairly quickly but he fertlized the lawn quite often
for a few years...(following the directions on the bag). Check out
any nursery for further direction. Good luck, there is hope!.
