Tampa Sod Webworms

Controlling Sod Webworms

Tropical sod webworms can cause serious damage to your home or business’s lawn. Although measuring just ¾ to an inch long, these creatures can eat about 4-square-feet of grass during the 35 days they live as caterpillars. At Tri-S Pest Control Service, we are equipped to handle all household and lawn pests quickly and effectively. That’s because we have provided pest control services throughout Florida since 1984.

Sod webworms begin their life cycle when sod webworm moths drop their eggs into your lawn as they fly overhead. Within 10 days, the caterpillars hatch and begin feasting on your lawn until they turn into moths and begin the process again. In Florida’s warm climate, it is possible for three generations of sod webworms to hatch during the months of May, July, and September.

At Tri-S Pest Control, we have lawn services to eliminate sod webworms and prevent them from returning. These programs are:

  • Lawn Beautification Program—this program properly nourishes your grass at the right times of the year, which helps your lawn to build resistance against turf damaging pests and weeds.
  • Premium Lawn Program—this service is for those seeking a golf course quality lawn. It includes fertilizers at 75 percent slow release. It also features insecticide treatments, fungicide treatments, weed applications, and granular and liquid formulations to combat damaging insects, turf diseases, and weeds.

I have been a loyal customer with Tri-S since 2006. That is hard to say about many businesses. Tri-S treats my lawn and also treats my house for pest prevention. I am often home when they treat my property and I see the techs are always extremely diligent and accurate. There have been several different techs over the years all of whom we have gotten to know. I am always impressed that they are all articulate and competent. Obviously they are well trained.They are 100% reliable about their work schedule. They leave a work order in my door and a little sign on my lawn. If you have a question or issue, there are most responsible office people whom we also know by name. I have even emailed photos of bugs for identification and they are always promptly responsive. They acknowledge receipt of comments and payments immediately with a “thank you” email!We have referred many clients to them simply because they see our beautiful lawn and ask! I wish everybody in our community used this wonderful company with fabulous service!
