My yard looks great and seems very healthy. My neigbors yard is also Bermuda grass and until about 2-3 weeks ago looked good. Now there are brown spots about 4-6 inches across. In the mornings they look whitish with what looks like “webs” over them. Is this a bug and how do I help him kill it and keep it from coming to my yard?

Next time you are out in your yard in the morning, take your finger to the white web and see if it has a smell to it and also see if it has a seed. What kind of shape does it have and also how fast is it spreading. I can help you more when you answer these questions.
