[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1696298, member: 24947"] It's regulated. As far as damage it can range from almost none to complete devastation. We deal with them every fall here. You can tell their coming when you start seeing the fingernail sized white and gray moths around your porch light at night. The moths lay eggs in the grass, in a couple weeks the eggs start hatching. So you will have several separate hatches. It takes the worms a couple weeks to get to the size where they start really doing noticable damage. We don't spray if all we find is worms under a inch, but instead wait until they get bigger than a inch or we start to see damage. Damage will start as little small spots but once the worms get big and a heavy infestation a field can disappear almost overnight. They are very easy to kill fortunately, real hot dry weather, and moderately cool weather (nights below 50) especially with some rain will stop them. [/QUOTE]
