How to Tell if you Have Armyworms in an Anaheim Lawn

Armyworms have a lighter colored head with an inverted "v" shape. There is a simple test to find out if you have armyworms chewing holes in your Anaheim lawn grass. Mix one tablespoon of dish soap into one gallon of tap water. Pour this soapy water over a 3-4 square foot patch of grass near an area where you are finding damage. If there are armyworms in the soil, they will quickly crawl to the surface. Of course, if you have any questions or concerns, the expert armyworm eliminators at Scotty's Termite and Pest Control are standing by at (949) 669-4060 to help answer questions or schedule a free consultation.

In addition to finding these creatures in the worm state, you may also see the adult moths flying around your entrance or landscape lighting in the evenings. The moths are brown with white tips on their wings.
