Ragged grass blades and small brown patches that spread across the yard often point to sod webworms feeding at night. Sod webworm control from Native Pest Management stops the damage early and helps your turf grow back thick and healthy.
A lawn that bounces back starts with confirming the cause, so the technician inspects thinning areas for chewed blades, silk tunnels, and green droppings near the soil line.
Treatment is applied across the affected turf based on how far the webworm activity has spread through the lawn.
For example, small tan moths flying low over the grass at dusk can signal that a new generation is on the way, so follow-up visits keep checking those areas.
If webworms return between monthly lawn care visits, an extra treatment is provided at no additional cost to help the turf recover.
What looks like dry or scalped grass is often caterpillars chewing blades after dark. A closer look at brown patches tells drought stress apart from webworms.
Sod webworms are covered under our monthly lawn care program, so treatment fits your regular visits. Learn how to spot them in our sod webworm guide.

Damage usually starts as small brown or thin patches with grass blades that look chewed or notched. Over time, the patches can join together, and you may see green pellets of droppings near the soil.
No special preparation is needed. Just make sure any gates to the backyard are unlocked so the technician can reach the whole lawn.
Sod webworms are one of the covered pests in the monthly lawn and ornamental service, so treatment is part of your regular lawn care visits. Your technician checks for new activity on each visit and treats the turf when webworms are found.
An extra treatment is provided at no additional cost when pest issues return between monthly lawn care visits. Call the office as soon as new brown patches appear so a technician can come back out.
Stay off the lawn until the product dries, then mow weekly and never remove more than one third of the blade at a time. Keeping the grass about 3.5 inches tall helps the turf fill back in.
Having your irrigation system checked once a year keeps watering even across the yard. Sharp mower blades matter too, since dull blades leave openings for lawn fungus.
