how can I control leatherjackets? the lawn has yellow patches and a magpie is ripping up the lawn, small white tipped larvae 20mm are in the lawn just under the surface. Around 10 under a dinner plate.

If you want to use the nematode solution, google Nemesys and select the product for leatherjackets - not usually available at garden centres.
