Wichita area home and garden stores were busy selling products to battle armyworms this weekend.
Armyworms prefer crops and lawn grasses. A sign of armyworms is often small, brown patches of grass on your lawn. This year, the worms made a migration north.
Here are some of the products that can battle armyworms:
Spinosad is a bacterial product produced by fermentation and can be used to control insects in the landscape and garden
Bacillus thuringiensis (B.T.) products can selectively control small armyworm larvae without harming beneficial insects
Other insecticide choices contain bifenthrin, carbaryl and permethrin.
