Holy Chinch Bugs Batman | My grass looks horrible.
Insect IQ offers chinch bug control in the Tampa Bay area.
The chinch bug is a common lawn insect that can cause extensive damage if left untreated. Living in the thatch layer of a lawn, chinch bugs feed by piercing the plant with their mouth and sucking the plant juices. When chinch bugs feed, they release enzymes that facilitate easy feeding. The enzymes continue damaging the plant after feeding, and cause the grass to turn brown and ultimately die.
Chinch bugs are generally found in hot, sunny areas of a lawn. They tend to cluster together, which initially results in localized dead patches. These dead patches are brown, irregular sunken areas, which can coalesce into larger dead areas. Damage generally becomes evident in July and August. Chinch bugs are tiny, but don't let that fool you; they can cause serious damage to your lawn.
Chinch Bugs are small, but they can cause major damage to your lawn. The damaging nymphal stage of this pest is bright red in color with a white stripe across its back. To spot them, you will have to get down on your hands and knees and spread the turf apart. The best place to look for active chinch bugs is in areas where the stressed turf meets well-greened turf.
