Leatherjacket Treatment with Acelepryn – Professional Protection for Your Lawn
A leatherjacket infestation can cause severe damage to a lawn, leaving it thin, weak, and full of bare or dying patches. Leatherjackets are the larvae of crane flies and feed on grass roots just below the surface, often going unnoticed until significant damage has already occurred. Our professional leatherjacket treatment using Acelepryn provides highly effective, long-lasting control, protecting your lawn at its most vulnerable point.
What an Acelepryn® Treatment Achieves
Targets Leatherjackets at the Root of the Problem
Acelepryn® works within the soil to control leatherjackets before they can cause widespread damage. It is most effective against young larvae, stopping feeding activity and preventing further root destruction.
Protects Grass Roots
By eliminating leatherjackets below the surface, the treatment safeguards the lawn’s root system, allowing grass plants to absorb water and nutrients properly and recover naturally.
Prevents Visible Lawn Damage
Leatherjacket damage often appears as yellowing grass, thinning turf, or patches that lift easily from the soil. Treating early with Acelepryn helps prevent these symptoms from developing.
Long-Lasting Control
Acelepryn® provides extended protection, continuing to work in the soil for several months. This reduces the risk of reinfestation and supports consistent lawn health throughout the growing season.
When the Treatment Is Applied
Acelepryn is typically applied in late summer to late autumn, when crane fly eggs hatch and larvae are small and most susceptible. Correct timing is essential to achieve the best results, which is why this treatment is carried out by our qualified technicians.
Safe, Professional Application
Acelepryn is approved for professional use in managed turf and is applied in accordance with strict UK regulations. When used correctly, it offers effective control while being considerate of beneficial insects, pets, and the wider environment.
Supporting Lawn Recovery
Once leatherjackets are controlled, the lawn can begin to recover. For best results, this treatment is often combined with overseeding, fertilisation, and aeration to restore density, strength, and appearance.
A Proactive Approach to Lawn Health
A leatherjacket treatment with Acelepryn is not just a cure—it’s a preventative measure that protects your lawn before serious damage occurs. If your lawn is at risk from leatherjackets or has a history of infestation, this professional treatment provides peace of mind and long-term lawn protection.
