This is one of the easiest lawn pests to identify because you will literally find them - hundreds of them.

(this photo is from another lawn - this is what army worms look like) It also makes send that grass could dry out there because it appears to slope to either side.Īaron adjusted his watering and 6 days later this has spread across the entire back yard.Īlso about this time he got down into the turf to look a little closer and found the armyworms in great numbers, munching away. This is a bermuda lawn and it's completely logical to think this may be a water issue since we are in August and the heat is raging.

Here is this exact scenario from Aaron in North Alabama:Īaron posts this photo in our group and asks 'Is this lack of water? It's dead like this on both sides of the fence but the rest of the yard looks OK.' One day you think you have a problem with lack of water, and the next your entire lawn is brown. It's that time of year, brown areas showing up in bermuda lawns and spread rapidly.
