i have another question about these pests.. are they just as apt to get into bahia fields as bermuda? just wondering because i have both kinds of grasses and all i have found them in so far is the bermuda?
i am told that a way to get rid of them is to cut your field, or bale your hay.. but i have found them in a closely grazed pasture too.. should i spray it or will they leave since the grass is so short?

Many people in my neck of the woods despise bahia, of course especially the hay growers, but I don't --- for the simple reason that I've always taken some comfort in knowing that if the bugs clean out my bermuda the cows will still have bahia to nibble on until the bermuda leafs out again.

yep, many around here are not crazy about the bahia either.. but i can certainly understand your situation.. i dont have the time to deal with alot of grass problems. i am not particularly wild about bahia, but it beats nothing.
i need to do some serious thinking about my situation (i have some other pasture issues that i want to address and now might be the time)

Does it have palatability issues, low nutritional value? Just curious, we don't have anything of the sort around here.
