It’s not your average home invasion. Armyworms are taking over, and they are causing hundreds of dollars’ worth of damage.
“Two mornings ago, I come out and seen dozens of these little bitty worms, and then I realized they were doing all this damage. I kind of feel like they are just little monsters as bad as they do and how quick they do damage.”
The homeowner told KFOR he was walking down his sidewalk when he noticed these armyworms invading his lawn. The pests have eaten away portions of his grass. The damage cost his household $135 to fix.
He’s not the only one with the problem.
“We’re just covered up with phone calls.”
The President of Acenitec Pest Control told KFOR more than 200 residents have called about armyworm invasions.
The pest comes out during certain times of the year and moves up north from the southern regions of Texas.
