Q&A - How do you get rid of armyworms?

Question:
How do you get rid of armyworms?

Answer:
Armyworms can destroy lawns very quickly. UT Extension Agent Booker T. Leigh says that there are some chemicals that can be sprayed like Ortho Bug-B-Gone. If you catch the infestation early – then the worms are less than an inch – you can use BT, which is a safer insecticide.
