What Are Sod Webworms?
Sod webworms are one of the most destructive lawn pests, capable of causing significant damage in a short period of time. These pests begin as small whitish moths, which can be seen hovering over the lawn in spring and summer. They lay eggs that soon hatch into larvae, which burrow into the soil and start feeding on grass roots and stems.
Signs of Sod Webworm Damage
The most common indicator of sod webworm infestation is the presence of irregular brownish patches on the lawn. As the larvae consume grass roots, the affected turf becomes loose and lifts easily from the soil, as it is no longer anchored properly.
✔️ Brown patches that expand over time.
✔️ Thinning and wilting grass, even with proper watering.
✔️ Moths flying close to the grass during the evening.
✔️ Presence of small, greenish larvae in the soil.
The most active season for sod webworm larvae is late summer through early fall, with moths typically appearing from late September to the end of October. These pests thrive in hot, dry conditions and can completely destroy a lawn if left untreated.
Sod Webworm vs. White Grub – Know the Difference
Sod webworm damage is often confused with white grub infestations. While both cause brown patches and weak turf, white grubs are larger and tend to feed deeper in the soil, whereas sod webworms target grass stems and roots closer to the surface.
Preventive Measures and Treatment Options
The best approach to sod webworm control is early intervention. If sod webworms are present in your neighborhood, a preventive treatment can help protect your lawn.
