THE CHINCH BUGS

STARTING AT $80

Chinch bugs are one of the most destructive lawn pests, feeding on the sap of grasses (turf) at the crown and stem of the grass blade. Their feeding process deprives the lawn of essential nutrients and moisture, leading to irregular, yellowish, and dried-up patches that spread quickly.

How to Identify Chinch Bug Damage?

These insects are most active in mid-summer, particularly during hot, dry weather. Lawns with compacted soil, excessive thatch, or improper irrigation are more susceptible to chinch bug infestations. If left untreated, they can completely destroy a lawn, creating large dead patches that continue to expand.

Common signs of chinch bug damage include:

✔️ Irregular yellow or brown patches that resemble drought stress.
Damaged grass that does not recover after watering.
✔️ Patches that expand outward as the insects spread.

✔️ Clusters of tiny black and red bugs on the soil surface, especially in sunny areas.

Why Chinch Bug Control is Essential?

Unlike other lawn-damaging insects, chinch bugs do not burrow into the soil; they remain on the surface, feeding aggressively on the grass blades. If an infestation is ignored, the damage can become irreversible, forcing homeowners to reseed or resod their lawn.
