Question Big ID
Can anyone ID this bug? They had a ton of them on my brothers porch last night. He was curious what they were, and I've never seen them before. TIA

Kinda hard for my ole eyes but looks like a mole cricket....They burrow holes all over your yard eating the roots...They love to go in sand bunkers on a golf course and the greens...

How do you apply the Bifenthrin? Just spray in on the grass, if so, how much?

I have seen some of there "diggings" in the last couple of weeks.
