Why Armyworms
Hit So Hard
From Sudden Damage to Lasting Lawn Strength
Armyworms feed at night, chewing grass blades down to the crown. Their destruction happens fast — and left untreated, they can strip a lawn bare. What looks hopeless can actually be reversed with quick, targeted action.
Our treatments stop armyworms in their tracks and give your lawn the care it needs to bounce back stronger. That means you can stop stressing about damage and get back to enjoying your yard again.
