Chinch Bugs

[ad_left]

Chinch Bugs are very small insects that dry out the grass in your lawn. These little pests drink the juices in the grass that gives them their green color. As, a result grass loses its coloring and appears brown or yellow. Chinch bugs are usually only a problem if you have St. Augustine grass in your yard. Like most other insects, Chinch Bugs can grow to become a major problem in the summer months. If your lawn does become infested with these bugs, it is recommended that you water your lawn every day so that your grass retains its green coloring and to use various treatments, such as Dursban or Diazinon, to kill the bugs in your lawn and to prevent their reproduction and growth throughout your lawn.

These bugs are usually a major problem in hot dry climates such as those of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and other South Western states. Cinch Bug infestation can easily be controlled and eliminated so there is no need to seek professional help. One can apply one of the various exterminators that can be found at most home improvement stores on a regular basis to rid themselves of this problem. Like most other exterminators, one can either buy the "crystal solid pesticides" or the spray pesticides. In the case of cinch bugs which usually remain on the ground, I suggest sprinkling the "solid" pesticide over potentially infected areas to exterminate these pests. You can also put these pesticides on all of your grass, although this may prove to be tedious and dangerous as pesticides often have many negative side affects if one is overly exposed to them. There are dozens of brands to choose from, but like all other extermination products, all exterminators are essentially the same and itv does not matter which one you choose.
