| I have had a landscaper tell me that I have web worm in my lawn. There is a large pattern of dead grass and, now weeds growing. What would be the best way to deal with this problem and get my green lawn back again? |
| Sod webworms can be controlled in one of several ways: Apply Spinosad (Conserve?) or Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) (Deliver?). Or, beneficial nematodes are a very effective biological control for use against this pest. For best results, water the lawn a day or two prior to applying the nematodes and water the lawn again, immediately after application. Insecticidal soap can also be used to control heavy infestations. It's a short-lived natural pesticide, and it works by damaging the outer layer of soft-bodied insect pests, causing dehydration and death within hours. |
