YOUR FIRST LAWN AND SHRUB SERVICE IS FREE
As September approaches we are starting to see tropical sod webworm damage because of the amounts of rain we have been getting as well as the daily temperatures. What is a sod webworm? Tropical sod webworms are turf caterpillars found in the southeastern United States. These are active during warm, humid summers, feeding on grass and ultimately creating brown, dead patches. The most well-known of these is the chinch bug, which can inflict extensive damage to a turf area.
The webworm produces a white, silken cocoon around itself at pupation. The moth emerges from the cocoon and flies off in search of a mate. It is important to reduce turf damage as much as possible because the webworm progresses through its different life stages rapidly. The webworm prefers to feed on warm-season turf grasses, especially on newly established sod, lawns, athletic fields, and golf courses.
