Only thing in stock at Lowe’s was Cutter brand but killing spray that you hook into your water hose. Not sure if you gents had better luck with any other product, I just sprayed it today and am hoping it works. Guess the problem is somewhat urgent should this stuff fail because these bastards took out 1/4 of my lawn in about two to three days time.

Anderson’s Duocide.
I’ve tried Talstar (bifenthrin) and suffered through their resurgence shortly thereafter. Anderson’s actually has bifenthrin, but also has another active ingredient that’s necessary (see below).
A couple of years ago I started using Anderson’s Duocide and at the first sign of chewed blades I put that down and it immediately stops them. I’ve already seen and done that once this summer.
If I see another chewed blade I’ll hit them again with the Anderson’s. Ignore the moths. Just watch for initial damage and have it ready to go immediately. That’s been working for me. Moths don’t bother the grass so don’t panic if you see them.
ETA: From their website:

I get it from Amazon

Featuring carbaryl and bifenthrin, DuoCide is a broad-spectrum insecticide designed for the preventative and curative treatment of feeding insects, including white grubs, European crane fly, chinch bugs, sod webworm, and many more!
Perfect for late-summer applications, DuoCide works as a rescue product for those who may have missed the early-summer application window.
What Sets DuoCide Apart?
Unlike most insecticide products on the market today, which force applicators to choose between controlling surface OR sub-surface insects, DuoCide represents the only solution designed to suppress insects both above AND below the surface.
Dispersing Granule (DG) Technology
Unlike other insecticide products featuring corncob carriers, which take much longer to breakdown, DuoCide is formulated on The Andersons’ DGPro® dispersing granule carrier. With DG Technology, particles are more rapidly and efficiently broken down. Upon contact with water, each DG granule disperses into thousands of microparticles that move through the turf canopy into the root zone. This level of dispersibility delivers precise insecticide delivery while eliminating issues associated with runoff and nutrient loss.

They have invaded our neighborhood as well. It looks like most of the Bermuda yards are getting torn up. So far my zoysia is ok but I have some Bermuda areas where I see a few. Do I need to spray or let will zoysia be ok?
From what I have read if your neighbors have them as well you are just SOL.

I bought spectracide triazicide from Lowe’s when they attacked my yard and had good success at stopping them from completely taking over my entire backyard.

Any pyrethroid will work. Bifenthrin is what I used. Got it at the coop.
