Good point, @sooby. This is also the time of year to use fungicides on Houston lawns. So if you treat for fungus and an insecticide that hits the sod webworm, she'd be right on it. The trouble with the sod webworms, is that we have had to reapply the insecticide weekly-10 days to keep at those #@$% generations that continue to hatch. These worms don't have a calendar. The chemicals are become less effective with each hatching generation. It needs to be reapplied. I am hoping by zapping some of the months that keeps them at bay. So far so good, no infestation by controlling the worms in my lawn. But it's glowing! Thumbs down But I am going to get the moths who lay eggs with The Zapper. I see literally 100's of moths fly out of the flower beds in the back yard. There is not lawn there, but I am sure they fly over my front lawn dropping eggs as they go. Grumbling
