One moth lays up to 2,000 eggs, and they hatch in as little as 2–3 days
Multiple generations can hatch in a single season — a small patch becomes a lawn-wide problem fast
Left untreated, an infestation can strip a section of lawn bare in a matter of days, and dead turf doesn't grow back on its own
Late summer into early fall is peak season for the Treasure Valley — which is exactly where we are right now
DIY granular treatments often aren't enough once worms are active — army worms
respond best to a full-coverage liquid application, not a spot treatment. Our team inspects
the entire property, confirms it's actually army worms, and treats accordingly so it doesn't
come back in two weeks.

Army worms are the caterpillar stage of a moth (Spodoptera species — fall armyworm is the common one in the US) that feed on turfgrass in large numbers. A few key facts:
What they do: They chew grass blades down fast, in bands that "march" across a lawn — which is where the name comes from. A healthy-looking lawn can go visibly brown or chewed-down almost overnight because they feed in large groups and move on once an area is stripped.
What to look for: Ragged or notched grass blades, patches that look scalped or brown, and small green-to-brown caterpillars (often with a few thin stripes down the body) visible if you part the grass or check at dusk/dawn when they're most active.
Timing: They tend to show up in late summer into early fall as moths migrate in and lay eggs, which lines up with the Treasure Valley pressure window you're already targeting with the campaign.
Why they spread fast: A single moth can lay hundreds of eggs, so an infestation can go from a few chewed spots to serious lawn damage within a week or two if untreated.

Fast. A single moth can lay up to 2,000 eggs, which hatch within 2–3 days, and an active infestation can
strip a section of lawn bare in just a few days.
No — it's actually one of the easiest ways to tell army worms apart from drought stress. Drought-stressed
lawns green back up with water; army worm damage doesn't improve, because the problem is feeding, not
moisture.
Not usually, as long as the roots are still alive. The sooner it's treated, the less turf you risk losing.
Yes — residential lawns, commercial properties, HOAs, and shared common areas throughout the Treasure
