Sod Webworm Control for Ohio Lawns
Stop the Chewing, Restore the Green
If you’ve noticed uneven brown patches or thinning turf, sod webworms might be to blame. These lawn pests hide in thatch during the day and chew through grass blades at night, leaving behind a patchy, worn-out yard. At Lawn Control Center, we act quickly with treatments that break the cycle and bring your lawn back to life.
“I’ve had you guys for I believe four years at two properties. You have always been receptive to my request. I have not had any issues with your company.”
Quick Facts About Sod Webworms
What you need to know right away:
Damage signs: Irregular brown patches, chewed blades, thinning turf.

Why Sod Webworm Control Matters
When sod webworms invade, they don’t just leave ugly brown patches.
They strip away the soft, green lawn your family counts on for play, curb appeal, and outdoor living. Left alone, thin turf becomes a magnet for weeds and stress, turning your yard from an inviting space into a problem you have to fix.
Control brings it back. With treatment and follow-up care, your lawn recovers its thickness, color, and comfort — so it feels like home again.
