Armyworms Abound, on the March in Autumn
Posted by Mosquito SquadOctober 10, 2024
Autumn armyworms come marching in, ruining lawns, devouring crops. Defend yourself with pest control for armyworms.
Though these pests spend only a short time in the form of armyworms, these moth larvae attack quickly and leave a lot of damage in their wake. Though they spend about seven to 21 days in their larval form, armyworms are reported to have ruined lawns in only 48 hours.
What months do armyworms come out?
Armyworms tend to emerge during the autumn months when there is ample fallen plant matter and grass to consume. Since a single moth can lay up to 2,000 eggs that hatch within 3 or 4 days, you can go from having no issues to a full-blown infestation in a matter of days. These pests are particularly active in the aftermath of hurricanes and tropical storms when the surrounding environment is saturated with water, meaning these pests will likely emerge soon after the passing of hurricane Helene.
Why do armyworms invade Middle Tennessee yards and pastures?
Armyworms have very little time to consume nutrients before they attempt to metamorphize into adult moths, so they consume vegetation ravenously. Grass, landscaping features, and freshly fallen leaves are all on the menu when these insects emerge, risking the integrity of your home’s landscaping features.

By treating your property before and during an armyworm infestation, we can guarantee a massive reduction in the number of these pests. Don’t let them raze your yard without resistance!
