Armyworm Treatments
Stop the crawl before they conquer. Protect your Triangle lawn from army worms before they march in.
Armyworms
They may be tiny, but they eat like an army.
Armyworms can strip a lush lawn down to bare stems in just a few days. These fast-moving pests thrive in North Carolina’s late-summer heat, feeding nonstop on Bermuda, fescue, and Zoysia grasses. Once they move in, the damage can spread overnight.
That’s where Triangle Lawn Care steps in. We offer proactive armyworm treatments designed for local turf and climate conditions. We monitor seasonal outbreaks and apply targeted, pet-safe control products that stop the invasion before it starts. The result is a thick, healthy lawn that stays protected, even through the Triangle’s toughest summer months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if armyworms are attacking my lawn?
Armyworm damage appears as rapidly developing brown patches and chewed grass blades.
You may see small green or brown caterpillars near the soil surface early in the morning or at dusk. According to NC State Extension, fall armyworms are most active during these hours and can cause severe damage within days if untreated.
When do armyworms usually show up in the Triangle?
Armyworms typically appear from late July through early October, with peak activity in August and September. Warm temperatures combined with increased rainfall create ideal conditions for outbreaks. During this time, newly hatched larvae feed aggressively near the soil surface, causing rapid and visible turf damage.
Can my lawn recover after armyworm damage?
Yes, most lawns can recover if feeding is stopped quickly.
Once larvae are controlled, proper watering and balanced fertilization support regrowth and root recovery. Severely damaged areas may require overseeding to restore density.
What is the fastest way to get rid of armyworms?
The fastest way to stop armyworms is to treat active larvae immediately with targeted insect control products.
Timely application limits turf loss and protects fescue, Bermuda, and zoysia from further thinning.
How do I prevent armyworms from coming back?
Prevention focuses on maintaining dense, healthy turf.
Proper mowing height, consistent watering, and a seasonal fertilization plan strengthen the lawn and reduce stress. Monitoring during peak months allows early intervention before significant damage occurs.
