Adults are black with two orange stripes; nymphs hide in white frothy spittle at grass bases. Damage comes from adult saliva injection.
Mow at 1.5 inches max; avoid irrigation (spittlebugs love moisture).
Mow and irrigate 24 hrs before spraying liquid insecticide late in the day (nymphs higher on plants). Treat mid-May, repeat July/August.
