Army Worm Detection and Treatment

During the late summer and fall you may start to see brown patches or loose turf in your lawn. This could be many things but one possible cause you’ll want to consider is armyworms. These caterpillars are called armyworms because they act like an army, moving across your lawn in groups, so you’ll want to act fast.
To detect if you have armyworms, grab a bucket and fill it with water and about a teaspoon of dish soap. Once it's mixed in, submerge an area of your lawn where you suspect armyworms. Within 5 minutes you will see these armyworms come up to the surface. If you don’t see any armyworms after submerging your lawn, there’s a good chance your safe from infestation.
Armyworms can cause significant damage quickly, so you don’t want to delay treating your lawn. We recommend our multi-mode insecticide DuoCide. DuoCide eliminates insects and grubs above and below the surface. So even if the armyworms are in your thatch layer, DuoCide has you covered. When applying DuoCide, be sure to treat the entire lawn and not just the area with visible armyworm damage or where the armyworms surfaced.
