A Yatton property owner is irate after a crane fly infestation destroyed the grass in her new property. She is now demanding the property development company rectify the lawn at her house and any other homes affected.
But the developers who built the new-build properties in Eaton Park, Yatton, said it is the responsibility of the owners to resolve the problem as the houses were signed off in good condition. The owner, who did not want to be named, said the larvae infestation was “totally destroying many gardens”, but the developer Curo Homes said it only knew of two homes that had been impacted.
Speaking to Bristol Live the owner said: “The outside of the property is their (developers) responsibility if there already was an infestation of crane fly larvae (daddy long legs). It starts when the turf is put down and it’s likely it was in the ground or in the turf when the turf was laid. It takes 12 months for it to appear.”
