Succession is the most serious threat to this species, especially in naturally disturbed areas and by invasive species. Habitat destruction and destruction of plants by herbicides and improper mowing are also threats which have reduced occurrences around metropolitan areas.

The preferred habitat management techniques are not known for this species. Is not known why it prefers certain disturbed areas over others. However, preventing succession by woody plants and controlling invasive species should help preserve the population.

The habitat preference of the species needs to be studied because it occurs in a wide variety of disturbed habitats and we do not know the exact environmental factors it prefers.
