At night i go out and find tiny green worms (slugs?) on the tips of my grass. They are very small, about 1/4" long. I live in Oregon. What to do? Thanks.

    You have armyworms. If they are small in number you can treat the damage with a light fertilization. If it is a large population use an insecticide labeled for armyworms which include spinosa, chlorantraniliprole and pyrethroids.

    try seven if you have some and if that doesnt work then do what the other person mentioned. I have seen armyworms take an eighty acre field of fescue. wasnt pretty!
