Sod Web Worm and MothSod Web Worms, also known as lawn moths, are usually ½ an inch to an inch long. They infest turf grasses in the United States and can be a major problem for any homeowner. These insects are usually dormant during the daytime, but feed on your grass during the night resulting in brown patches in your lawn. Among the grasses where these insects are most prevalently found are bluegrass, bent grass, buffalo grass, and zoysia grass. Sod Web Worms are not a major problem in the wintertime, however, they can be a major problem during the summer if they are allowed to reproduce and continue to feed on your grass.

If you suspect that your lawn may be infested with Sod Web Worms, there are two courses of action that you can take. You could call and exterminator to rid yourself of these insects, or purchase a product at your local home improvement store that is designed to rid your lawn of Sod Web Worms. Calling an exterminator can be quite expensive so I suggest that you do not do so unless your lawns becomes overly infested with Sod Web Worms, or you cannot seem to get rid of these bugs by yourself.

Any local hardware or home improvement store should have all the supplies you need to rid yourself of these pests. Most hardware stores carry both spray pesticides as well as "solid chemicals" which can be sprinkled on infected areas to rid them of sod web worms. There are many brands to choose from, and although they may all claim that they are the best, all are equally effective so you may just want to go with the cheapest pesticide or ask an employee at the store which brand may be right for you.
