Army Worm Control & Pest Prevention

Army Worms are the larvae stage of moths that lay eggs in grass and other plants. These pests start feeding on the blades of grass once hatched in warm months. They leave brown patches in their wake and can strip lawns completely bare within days of the initial infestation.

Lawn Doctor of Marietta uses a preventative insecticide that penetrates below the surface of lawns and kills the Army Worm eggs before they are able to hatch. For post-infestation control, we use a treatment that kills the worms on the surface that keeps your lawn from experiencing irreversible damage. The early signs of an army worm infestation are brown patches and considerable thinning of the lawn at a rapid pace. It is best to use the preventative program seeing as how quickly Army Worms destroy the health of a lawn.
