Army Worms
· Attacks all sorts of lawns in various parts of the country.
· They are very destructive!
· It depends on where you live to what time of year they will attack.
What to watch out for:
· Moths flying around a light.
· Moths flying off as you walk across the lawn, what they are doing is
laying their eggs.
The worms:
· Can be green, brownish green or black in appearance.
· Sometimes with a stripe or triangular markings.
· They will hatch after about 5-7 days and that is where the big damage
is done.
· They attack the lawn eating it and interestingly they don’t just attack
any lawn they go for a nice healthy looking lawns.
· Once the worms have exhausted the food supply, they all get up in big
groups and move on to the next lawn, a bit like an army on the march.
Checking for army worms:
· If you notice a patch or areas of your lawn that look a bit thinner or
shorter or look like they have been mowed you could have army worm.
· Have a look where the damaged area meets your normal lawn and pull
the lawn apart. What you will see is maybe some worms or some little
green balls which is the waste product.
Flea/Tick Treatments
You treat the dog, but do you treat the lawn? Treating your dog for fleas and ticks is a good start, but what about the area where your dog plays? Your lawn can harbor a significant number of fleas and ticks. Even if your pet avoids bites, he or she could still track the insects into your home. Treating your lawn kills harmful bugs, so you and your pet can make the most of your yard.
