Ottawa homeowners are spending thousands of dollars to repair or re-sod lawns destroyed by grubs and bugs.
Last summer's drought, grubs, cinch bugs and the ban on pesticides have killed hundreds of lawns through -out the capital region.
"I have repaired so many lawns in the last three weeks, it's unbelievable. I think we've repaired close to 35 lawns and I have another 20 people waiting to get it done right away," said Roch Laporte who owns the Gentleman Gardender.
Some homeowners are getting estimates of up to 4 and 5 thousand dollars.
The key is to water your healthy lawn, at least an inch every week.
And overseed in the summer.
CTV's Norman Fetterley will have a full report at 6 and 11:30 pm.
