They March. They Munch. They Wreck… 😳

Army worms don’t just show up… they march, munch, and destroy everything in their path 😳🐛 In this episode of the Friend or Foe gardening series, we break down everything you need to know about these fast-moving garden pests and whether they deserve a spot in your backyard ecosystem—or need to be stopped immediately. Learn how to identify army worms, spot the early signs of an infestation, and understand why they can cause rapid, widespread damage to vegetable gardens, lawns, and crops. We’ll also cover the truth about their behavior, how quickly they spread, and the best organic pest control methods, including when and how to use BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) effectively. This video is perfect for beginner gardeners, backyard growers, and experienced gardeners looking to protect their plants and stay ahead of common pests. If you’ve ever walked out to your garden and noticed leaves disappearing overnight, this might be your answer.
