We have always had a nice lawn, but this years Autumn/ winter for some unknown reason we lost all our grass rather quickly. thought it was due to the rain and lack of sunshine. Did some reading up on Lawns and came across KiwiCare Lawn remedies. Upon a closer look found small mounds of dirt and holes dug around found what looked like the small Porina caterpillar turned over a few sods of grass but couldn't find much in the way of grass grubs. I decided to get some LawnPro Protect and give it a go as good rain was forecast. The next morning i went out and WOW !! i could not believe my eyes it looked like a slaughter house, grass grubs, porina Caterpillars every where, unbelievable what came out. I would highly recommend this product, and will continue to rectify our damaged lawn with KiwiCare Products.
