Facts about lawn damaging armyworm’s infestation and control
Armyworms are a highly destructive caterpillar that crawl through once pleasantly green turf areas, and in just a few hours, turn them into brown dead grass.

Adult armyworm moths may be attracted by bright lighting & can lay up to one thousand eggs in a single night. Upon hatching the armyworm larvae immediately begin feeding.

Minor damage from armyworms may be observed during early development but after the 4^th larval state is when 93% of grass foliage consumption occurs. By the 6^th stage of development, the larvae will burrow into the thatch and soil layer, where they will pupate and emerge as adult moths in 10 to 20 days.

With proper treatment the armyworm’s destruction can be stopped, often with just one application before they do further damage to your lawn. If you suspect you have an army worm infestation, contact Midwest Green Lawn Care & Landscaping for our armyworm infestation and control services.
