Have you recently noticed your lawn turning yellow and the grass tearing off easily? You might be dealing with a sod webworm infestation.
The sod webworm turns into a small beige moth often seen in the spring. But at the larval stage, it can cause a lot of damage to lawns, attacking the grass blades and stems.
SOD WEBWORMS AND WHAT THEY DO
At the adult stage, the sod webworm is a harmless beige moth that flies away when disturbed by someone mowing the lawn or walking in the grass. We often see these moths in June, which is the time when they are laying eggs in lawns.
However, at the larval stage, the sod webworm can cause extensive damage to your lawn. The larva is beige and brown, with lines on its back. It can measure up to 2 inches long and can be found in turf thatch. The larvae feed on grass blades and stems, which can eventually kill your lawn. The sod webworm is a devastating pest that must not be ignored.
The damage they do is usually visible at the beginning of September. Immediately after birth, the larvae will attack your lawn. If you find sod webworms on your lawn, act quickly before they do any damage.
