Warmer Weather Bringing Chinch Bug Threat
Pro Staff encourages residents to monitor their lawns to help combat chinch bugs this summer.
- Orlando, FL (1888PressRelease) May 20, 2013 - One of the most damaging insects to St. Augustine grass is the chinch bug, with activity thriving between March and November. Although they do most damage to St. Augustine grass, that doesn't mean they don't attack other types of grass, which can include Bermuda grass and Bahia grass. With spring in full effect, and summer quickly approaching, Pro Staff Termite and Pest Control is warning residents of the damaging effects that chinch bugs can have on your lawn. There are many tell-tale signs of chinch bugs, and identifying these pests can help you start a lawn care treatment before they become a bigger problem down the road.
"Chinch bugs remove sap from the base of the plants and injects it with a toxic substance that inhibits transportation of water throughout the plant," says Robert Welch, president of Pro Staff Termite and Pest Control. "You'll notice that damage often appears as dead, yellow grass, and increases during the dry, hot weather. With chinch bugs, treatment is almost necessary to control these pests."
It can be difficult trying to figure out if chinch bugs are the cause of lawn damage or if drought it the cause, so detection of the insects themselves is the best proof that chinch bugs are the culprit. Controlling chinch bugs begins with proper irrigation and lawn care since they prefer dry environments. Lawns should be monitored closely throughout the spring and summer for signs of stress, and it's recommended that you utilize pest control and lawn care services to eliminate and prevent chinch bugs from returning.
For protecting your lawn, Pro Staff Termite and Pest Control uses an EPA-approved insecticide that is virtually 100% effective which provides customers with rapid and long-lasting chinch bug control and protection. The insecticide, combined with regular irrigation, can be your best defense against pests.
