Watching it grow and fill in. Checking it every morning to see how the bare spots were coming along. Transplanting sprigs & plugs into the sparse areas. Watering every morning and evening. I walked the yard Wednesday nite. Nothing. Didn't see any damage. No worms. Looked really close. Had them before wanted to catch them early. Nothing. Went out Thursday just after daylight to check the rain gauge, and I've got a tennis court size hole where the grass used to be. SOAB. On the way out the drive, I noticed the large patch of fescue at the end of the drive under the giant Hackberry tree. Gone. G O N E. Had walked it Wednesday night as well. Nothing Wednesday nite, gone Thursday morning. Waited until the rain stopped and sprayed most of the yard, which took four of the 40oz concentrates, and they still die easy, but damn they are voracious little *******s. This will be the last year I wait to see them before I spray. First week of August from now on I'm spraying with the 90 day residual soil stuff. I think the bermuda will come back. The fescue is going to have to be re-tilled and reseeded. I was going to get a 75lb bag of fescue seed this weekend to over seed with after Sept 1. I guess I'll be replanting instead of overseeding. Work at it that hard, and start to see the results you were hoping for and poof, gone overnight. Kinda felt like a sucker punch to the gut.</blockquote>
