Southern Chinch Bug Management on St. Augustinegrass
The southern chinch bug, Blissus
insularis, is a difficult-to-control and damaging insect pest
of St. Augustinegrass in Florida. Southern chinch bug activity
occurs year-round in southern Florida.
Several
insects can be confused with chinch bugs in St. Augustinegrass
lawns, so proper insect identification is important. Damage may
occur in open, sunny areas near sidewalks and driveways, but also in
the middle of lawns. Infested plants have slower growth, turn
yellow, then rusty reddish-brown, and die. Southern chinch bug
management has relied on the preventive use of insecticides. Some
low maintenance lawns may be treated infrequently, but those under
high maintenance may be treated every 2-3 months. Click on our
e-mail link above to send a service request. For more information

Treatment for most residential lawns from $60
