SOD WEB WORMS

TROPICAL SOD WEB WORMS



If you are seeing small white
or dingy brown moths fling out of your lawn, or your lawn has developed grayish
brown damaged areas 2 or 3 foot in diameter. 
It is a good chance you may have Sod Web Worms.  Often, damage is first noticed along hedges
or flower beds.



This is the most common
caterpillar to attacking turfgrasses. 
These moths attack all grasses but prefer Bermuda and least desire
bahia.  During the day, the moths rest in
shrubbery next to turf areas and at dusk, fly over the turf depositing
eggs.  When these eggs hatch into larva,
they do their damage on the turf, rasping the surface or skeletonize the
blades.   As the larva mature, injured
grass has notches are chewed along the sides of the blades or is eaten back
evenly.  Damaged areas of your lawn
become larger and fuse together.  Sod Web
Worms are usually not a problem until June here in Beautiful Southwest Florida.



Don't what and see if your
problem goes away and you lose your beautiful lawn to this tropical
partier.  Let Collier Pest Control treat
your lawn and eliminate those unwanted worms in just 2 visits, 7 to 10 days
