I also have a (misguided?) hope that if I dethatch right now I will be able to rout out tent caterpillar larvae before they go up my walnut trees?? They have caused severe damage for the last couple of years and one of the trees is showing signs of distress. Walnut trees are toxic to all vegetation except moss. There is thick moss under the trees and apparently the caterpillars really like moss.

Ha!! Go for it, just realize you will get some crabgrass. It will start dying at first cold snap, then thatch and overseed. Next spring use a pre-emergent crabicide. I cant speak to thatching helping with the insects, but moss is tricky to deal with so you should consider insecticide. I realize that not all want to use chemicals. There are some natural methods but usually less effective.

There is a fella in town.
Years ago.
Had new septic system with pump.
Disgusted with price of underground wire.
Went to hardware store and purchased an orange extension cord to wire house to pump. Yes, he buried it.

Dethached an area of the lawn 2-3 weeks ago. Scarified and seeded with Scotts Northeast. Water by hose at 9am and irrigation at 5pm. Looking pretty good. There is an area with crabgrass coming and I tx. with Weed Stop.
On the golf course they slice seed in August and water as I did.
