Seems like a damn yearly occurrence, but live over here in Gluckstadt, came home today and my neighbor and I have them. Just a heads up wherever you guys live. I’m about to go straight Astro-Turf (17 HOA)! Had the same scare last year but .. nothing serious. Any-whooo just a cautious heads up.

ive learned that if you put pelletized Bifenthrin about mid summer that will keep the army worms from coming in later.....i used to get army worms so bad that when you looked at the grass you would get dizzy.....the Bifenthrin thing worked....and I wouldn't pay anyone to come spray your worms....you can buy just about anything from the co op and spray them yourself.

I'm at the point that I really don't care if I get them or not. Saves the time and sweat of mowing for the rest of the year
Agreed. Plus, last time I got army worms, my bermuda rebounded and looked the best it ever has. Just gotta "suffer" for a couple of weeks until they move on.

Sir do not ever confuse your filthy infestations in Gluckstadt with the beautiful lawns of Madison the City.

This is a yet another example of why your neighborhood hasn't been annexed yet by Madison the City.
City of Madison lol, did Mother Mayor Mary take care of those for you? I grew up when we were the MR Braves … don’t lecture me on annexation of any sorts.
