turf managers should realize that some indi- viduals do show pyrethroid (bifenthrin) skin sensitivity. The neonicotinoid insecticides used for grub control have very low mam- malian toxicity while being very effective grubicides. During dry weather the turf should be irrigated prior to treatment to help the insecticide penetrate grass blades and dry thatch.
Armyworms, which are caterpillars of
moths, are greenish when small, but become brown with several length wise stripes when fully grown at ½ inch. The adult is a mot- tled brownish-gray moth with a wingspan of nearly 1 ½ inches. Irritant sampling with dish soap is par- ticularly useful in detection and monitor- ing of armyworm, as well as mole crickets,

cutworms, or sod webworm infestations (Image 8). The soap irritates sensitive soil- inhabiting pests causing them to quickly come to the surface.

For best results apply insecti- cide in the early evening when caterpillars are actively feeding on turfgrass. ■ Alex Kowalewski, is an assistant professor at
