It’s been just over a month since we last posted about Fall Armyworms. I just spotted some on a walk this afternoon. Currently, most caterpillars are still small. Now is the ideal time to scout for and control the fall armyworm larvae, before caterpillars get larger and do even greater damage.

As a reminder, Fall Armyworm caterpillars are usually found in large numbers when they are present, and the caterpillars can be identified by:
• Young caterpillars are light green in color
• Older caterpillars are up to 1.5 inches long, tan to olive-green in color, and have stripes extending the length of both sides of the body.
• A light-colored, inverted Y-shaped marking on the front of the head
• Four black tubercles on the back of each abdominal segment

Another option to help test for Fall Armyworms, if you suspect them in your lawn, is to mix one tablespoon of liquid dish soap in one gallon of water. Pour this soapy water solution onto a four-foot by four-foot area of turfgrass near the damage. If fall armyworms are present, they will crawl to the surface and be easier to identify. It’s always a good idea to test several areas to be sure. Fall Armworms are most active in the early morning and evening hours. As a result, Fall Armyworms may be easier to spot in your lawn during these times of day.

🍃 Natural Filter: Lawns trap dust, pollen, and other particles, keeping your air cleaner.

1. 🌱 Heat Defense 101: Grass naturally slows its growth and curls its blades in extreme heat to save water. A little summer TLC helps it stay strong until cooler days!

2. ☀️ Nature’s Air Conditioner: Healthy lawns can be up to 30°F cooler than asphalt. That’s right—your grass is keeping you chill!

3. 💧 Morning Matters: Watering early in the morning reduces evaporation and gives grass the moisture it needs to handle summer heat.

4. 🛡 Self-Defense Mode: During hot weather, grass can go dormant, turning brown on top while staying alive underground—just waiting for the next good rain.

5. 🌿 Built-In Shade: Taller grass blades shade the soil, keeping roots cool and locking in precious moisture during summer heat waves.

6. 🔄 The Comeback Kid: Even if your lawn looks stressed in summer, healthy roots can quickly green up again when conditions improve.

7. 🐜 Nature’s Balance: A healthy lawn not only resists heat—it’s also less prone to weeds and pests taking advantage of stressed grass.

☀️ Summer Lawn Maintenance Tips

🥵 Hot Kansas summers can take a toll on your lawn—but with the right care, you can keep it green, healthy, and beautiful all season long!

✅ Mow Smart – Keep your grass a little taller (around 3-4 inches) to provide shade for the roots and help retain moisture.
💧 Water Early – Water deeply in the early morning (before 10 AM) to reduce evaporation and encourage deep root growth.
🌱 Feed Wisely – A mid-summer fertilizer boost can keep your lawn strong, but be careful not to overdo it in the heat.
🕵️ Spot Trouble Early – Watch for dry patches, armyworms, or fungus that can spread quickly in hot weather.
