We’re receiving reports of armyworms attacking some lawns in our area. This pest typically resurfaces every few summers, and it seems they’re back in North Texas.
Key Points:
- Primary Target: Bermuda grass (they don’t like St. Augustine.)
- Damage: Armyworms can chew the top off of a lawn within days, leaving it looking severely scalped.
- Good News: While unsightly, the damage is usually temporary and the grass bounces back.
- The treatment for armyworms is to spray an insecticide such as Bifenthrin and/or wait for them to pass.
