Signs of Armyworm Damage

Marching patterns are the first sign homeowners notice that there’s something wrong with their lawns. Armyworm treatment is often necessary if you notice any of the following:
Armyworm Control

The "Frost" or Windowpane Appearance

Very young larvae don't have the jaw strength to eat through a whole blade of grass. Instead, they scrape away the green tissue, leaving behind a clear, translucent membrane. From a distance, this can make patches of your lawn look like they have a silvery sheen or a light coating of frost, even in warm weather.

Armyworm Control

Rapidly Expanding Brown Patches

Unlike disease or drought, which usually stay in one spot or move slowly, armyworm damage moves with appetite and speed. You may notice brown areas expand several feet per day.

Armyworm Control

Skeletonized Grass Blades

Armyworms grow, eventually eating entire leaves that look torn or chewed. Severe cases end with grass being eaten to the crown.

Armyworm Control

Nighttime Movement

Armyworms hide deeper in the grass during the day to escape the intense Texas heat. Shine a flashlight over your yard at night and you'll easily spot the active larvae climbing to the tops of the blades to feed.

Biological Signs

Sometimes, the signs of armyworm damage aren’t apparent until you start seeing the other biological changes. You might notice an increase in bird activity, frass (caterpillar droppings) or moths, which are all signs of an infestation.

Your Seasonal Armyworm Timeline for Collin County

Worms aren’t just a problem in the fall. You can have two waves of them throughout the year.

  • Spring (April – May) is when the initial wave occurs.
  • Late Summer – Fall (August – October) is when dry spells cause moths to fly in and lay their eggs that will eventually hatch.
