These pests are known for their destructive feeding habits. They tunnel through the soil and feed on grass roots, causing extensive damage to the turf.

As they burrow through the soil, they create unsightly ridges and tunnels on the surface of the lawn, which can disrupt the overall appearance and health of the grass.

In severe cases, they can completely destroy large areas of a lawn, leading to costly repairs and reseeding efforts.
