Dill speaks to BDN about crane flies

May 5, 2023 Cooperative Extension, UMaine in the News

The Bangor Daily News interviewed Jim Dill, pest management specialist with University of Maine Cooperative Extension, for an article about invasive crane flies. “It showed up a few years ago on coastal islands and can be a fairly serious lawn pest. They do lay some eggs in turf or grass and the larvae eat the foliage and roots,” Dill said. WGME-TV (Channel 13 in Portland) shared the BDN report.
