    I am not sure how to kill the adult moths successfully, since they are known to be good at hiding themselves and avoiding pesticide sprays. But I think the adults have short lifespans. I think the best strategy is to focus on getting rid of the larvae, which will prevent any more adults from appearing. Since the larvae are able to overwinter in your lawn, try to kill the last generation of larvae that hatches in fall. Here is more information:

    Your best bet is to send a soil sample to your state's cooperative extension service. Let them know you want to grow grass and they will recommend amendments. It's likely you'll need to till in several inches of compost if you have compacted clay. Alternately, you can collect your neighbors' leaves and till them in this fall after shredding or going over them with a mower. Water the area the day prior to tilling. Just spreading several inches of topsoil on top of your ground is not the solution.

    The high urea (nitrogen) content of the dogs' urine burned the grass. The same result comes from dumping a bunch of fertilizer in one spot. The grass is dead. There is a chance the roots are alive but you'll probably need to reseed, I'm sad to say.

    Although they are unsightly, they do benefit the soil in many ways. To get rid of them you mush find what the underlying problem is.
