Fall Armyworms Infestation Guide
Look Out For Fall Army Worms! Adult Armyworms are common in Bermuda grass, Ryegrass, St Augustine, and Zoysia grass. The name “Armyworms” is because they travel in groups and quickly move through. Armyworms are hard to spot in the beginning. They are small at first (about 1/8 inch). As a result, if you are not cautious, a large infestation can occur before you notice. The larvae feed for 2-3 weeks; when fully grown, they are 1 to 2 inches long. Armyworms move quickly and reproduce in large numbers. The females can lay over 2,000 eggs. Armyworms typically lay their eggs at the base of host plants. Adult Armyworms, though, prefer to lay eggs on lush plants and grasses.
