Fall Armyworms
Lawns are important to us all. They can be time consuming and a lot of work, but it is all worth it for a nice-looking lawn. However, when a pest comes in and kills it all quickly, it is very disappointing! That is what we are dealing with currently. Throughout the Midwest fall armyworm has made its devastating reappearance after many years absent.
Using Pesticides Correctly
We are getting closer to fall which is a great time to work on improving your lawn. Late September and early October are great for spraying lawn weeds. When dealing with pests in your lawn, be sure to use pesticides correctly for the best success and for the least amount of damage to the environment.
