The larvae will be busy eating the roots of your plants just now.
Leather jackets, scurge of any golf course as the larvae eat the root of the green and because of some European law designed to reduce the use of pesticides in the food chain, they can't spray for them.

Second hand information, but the industrial strength stuff is no longer available and the problem is just getting worse. One course I know some of the greenkeeping staff, tell me they have large quantities of the good stuff stockpiled and don't yet have an issue.
Cousin had to replace the top 12 inches of his garden to get rid of them.

Puzzle game procrastinator!
Wildlife is dying out all over the place!

DLL ... I hardly see them any more. Wasps ... I used to be plagued by them every summer - I haven't seen one yet this year. Sparrows, starlings etc. - a tiny fraction of the numbers that I saw as a child.

Cars however ... there are more than four times as many on the roads now as there were when I was young!
