Sod Webworm Infestation

Sod webworms feed after dark. In South Florida they can be active in any month, and statewide the worst damage usually appears from midsummer into fall. Signs include fine silk webbing that shows in the morning dew and small tan moths flying up as you walk the lawn. Damaged areas form uneven brown patches of chewed, notched blades. Because the caterpillars eat leaves and spare the roots, grass can recover if it is treated quickly. See how to get rid of sod webworms.
