Protect your lawn from further armyworm damage. Call (512) 786-1694 at the first sign of an infestation.

Armyworms are destructive lawn pests that can chew through grass fast – in fact, a severe armyworm outbreak can turn a green lawn brown within just a few days. These pests are actually caterpillars (the larval stage of a moth) that move in large groups, devouring turf like a marching army. Here in Central Texas – including Austin, Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, Lakeway, and Georgetown – armyworms tend to strike in late summer and fall when conditions favor them. At Century Outdoor Services, we provide professional armyworm control to stop active infestations quickly, and we even include preventative armyworm treatments as part of our 9-round fertilization & weed control program to protect your lawn year-round. Give us a call today at (512) 786-1694 to schedule our armyworm control treatment.

What Are Armyworms?

Despite their name, armyworms aren’t worms at all – they are caterpillars (larvae) of a small brownish moth commonly known as the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda). These caterpillars are usually green, brown, or nearly black with pale stripes along their body and a distinct upside-down “Y” marking on their head. They grow to about 1–1½ inches long and often feed in hordes of dozens or hundreds, which is how they earned the name armyworm – large infestations can resemble an army marching across your turf.

 

Once eggs hatch, the armyworm larvae begin voraciously eating grass blades. As they grow, their appetite becomes enormous. Most of the damage is done by the larger, late-stage caterpillars in the last few days of their feeding. Homeowners are often shocked at how quickly a beautiful green yard can be razed by these pests. An armyworm “platoon” can chew through an entire lawn’s worth of turf in a matter of days, sometimes even within 24–48 hours during a heavy infestation. Researchers note that areas as large as a football field have been completely consumed in only 2–3 days during bad outbreaks.

We have been offering our services to homeowners in Austin, TX and throughout the surrounding areas since 2013.
