Two names. One problem.
Craneflies are large, mosquito-like insects that only live long enough to breed. Their larvae, called leatherjackets, live in the soil and feed on grass roots, causing thin, patchy lawns that feel spongy underfoot.
Watch for adult crane flies hovering over your lawn in late summer, or for brown, uneven patches appearing in spring. If you pull back a small section of sod and see grey, worm-like larvae, you’re likely dealing with leatherjackets.
You can! We’ve found that the best leatherjacket/cranefly control strategy is ensuring that your lawn is draining sufficiently with no standing water, while also focusing on beneficial cultural practices, such as:
Weed Man can also help with an effective insect control plan.
Unfortunately, no. Without treatment, larvae can survive winter and continue feeding in spring, causing long-term damage to turf roots and plant density.
Yes. Weed Man uses targeted, professional-grade applications that are safe when applied correctly. Our treatments are designed to control pests while keeping your lawn – and your family – protected.
No, craneflies and leatherjackets do not bite humans or your pets. Adult craneflies resemble mosquitoes and are often mistaken for them. But they actually lack the necessary mouthparts to pierce human skin. However, they do feed on your lawn.
If you think you have a cranefly infestation, don’t delay. Start right now by finding a Weed Man expert in your area.

I've been with Weed Man for 2 years or more and man they have been very helpful. Being a working mom and having 50 million things to do and one of them is not having to worry about my lawn because I know Weed Man will take care of it. I was always trying to find new ingredients to help with the weeds in my lawn and how time consuming it was, now I just wait for Weed Man to put me on their schedule. The price to me is reasonable for the service they provide.

The Weed Man has successfully eradicated an enormous number of weeds in my backyard with their initial treatment. I have found the Weed Man to be exceptionally responsive to any requests that I have made. The service is competent and very friendly. I highly recommend this company! Post Season follow-up: Throughout the season (It is now mid-September), the Weed Man technician, Damien, provided excellent service and was immediately responsive to all of my requests. If there were a couple of instances of a weed or two reappearing, he gladly stopped by to treat it. It has been a pleasure using Weed Man, and I absolutely recommend its services to anyone with a weed issue. I will continue to use Weed Man on an annual basis.
