Armyworm Control

Armyworm Control is an essential part of a homeowners pest control plan to save money spent on a beautiful landscape. Armyworms are a common insect pest that can cause significant damage to lawns if left uncontrolled. These insects feed voraciously on vegetation, consuming large amounts of leaves and other plant materials, and can quickly decimate entire fields or lawns if their populations are not managed. Fortunately, there are several effective control strategies that homeowners can use to prevent and control Armyworm infestations.

Armyworms earned their name because of their behavior of moving in large numbers across fields and consuming everything in their path, much like an army on the march. When they invade a field or lawn, they can quickly strip it of vegetation, leaving nothing behind. The term “Armyworm” is thought to have originated during the early 19th century when a large Armyworm outbreak occurred in England, leading to widespread damage to crops and other vegetation. Since then, the term has been used to refer to several species of moth caterpillars that share similar behavior and characteristics. Today, the name “Armyworm” is used to refer to several species of moth caterpillars that are known for their destructive feeding habits and tendency to move in large numbers, consuming everything in their path.

Armyworm control is beneficial for several reasons. It is cost-effective in that it helps prevent significant damage to lawns, which can reduce or eliminate the need for costly repairs or replacements. Additionally, eliminating Armyworm populations improves the overall aesthetics of a property, promoting a healthy and attractive landscape that increases its value. Overall, effective Armyworm control is an essential component of maintaining healthy vegetation while also providing economic and aesthetic benefits.

Preventing or reducing Armyworm damage to lawns requires several steps. By implementing these steps, homeowners can prevent or reduce Armyworm damage to their lawns, promoting a healthy and attractive landscape. First of all, maintain a healthy lawn by watering and fertilizing properly and mowing regularly to promote strong root growth.

Second, monitor lawns for signs of Armyworms, such as chewed or damaged leaves. Actions should be taken as soon as infestations are detected. Armyworms become active when temperatures consistently reach 70 degrees Fahrenheit at night. Pay close attention when temps reach that range.
