About Bronze

These small, metallic-colored beetles are notorious turf pests that cause significant damage by feeding on grass roots and stems, leading to thinning and brown patches in lawns. Commonly found in Middle Tennessee areas like Franklin and Brentwood, bronze turf pests thrive in warm, moist conditions and can severely weaken Kentucky bluegrass and fescue lawns. Effective lawn care treatments targeting these beetles are essential to maintain healthy turf throughout the growing season.
