I have an infestation of army worms. There are thousands of them. They eat every blade of bermuda grass in about a week. The grass eventually recovers, then a new hatch of worms repeat the process. Controlling erosion is a priority and bermuda goes dormant in the winter so I don't want to go through any more time wasting cycles. I have perhaps 4 or 5 acres around the pond. The grass is new this year and just getting established.

The feed store recommends Sevin insecticide, but after reading the label I won't use it. (Extremely toxic to fish and everything else.) So for I haven't found any pond friendly insecticide.

I did treat with BT. Its "organic" so it doesn't hurt the fish, unfortunately the army worms laughed at it.

Anybody know of a reasonable treatment I should try?
