For property owners in Fort Worth and Arlington the arrival of mid February brings the emergence of crane flies and often colloquially known as skeeter eaters. While the adults are harmless the larvae known as leatherjackets can cause significant Lawn Insect damage by feeding on the roots and crowns of your Bermuda or St Augustine grass. In 2026 the focus on Lawn Insect Control centers on the subsurface neutralization of these larvae before they can disrupt the structural uniformity of your North Texas lawn.
