Barriers, compost, litter and manual removal, spraying, tilling, and weeding are ways to eliminate garden cutworms. As the larval stage of harmless, night-flying moths, the caterpillars in question (Noctuidae lepidopteran family) favor springtime feeding upon fresh above- and below-ground plant parts of asparagus, bean, cabbage, carrot, celery, corn, lettuce, pea, pepper, potato, and tomato plants as well as upon young turf-grasses. Tilling may expose and kill overwintering larvae near litter- or weed-filled borders, fields, meadows, and pastures whereas aluminum or cardboard plant-base collars, composted (not green manure so hospitable to egg-laying) amendments, larval and litter removal, and residual treatments with carbaryl, cyfluthrin or permethrin in the evening every two to four weeks will eliminate cutworms from spring to fall.
