Is it harmful to earthworms or other beneficial insects?
Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench is not specifically labeled to treat sod webworms. The most popular product for sod webworms is Tasltar P which can be used in lawns, landscape beds and around ornamental plants, bushes, trees, shrubs, etc. Time applications to control young larvae, if possible. Talstar P and other insecticides will kill earthworms and other benficials should they come in contact with it. Please take a moment to look over our Sod Webworm Control Guide for more information on treating and preventing this pest.
