Chinch Bugs

Things to be on the look out for this time of year. As we Transition from spring to Summer and temperatures rise Chinch Bugs will become more prevalent in St Augustine lawns. Chinch bugs are often confused with lawns suffering from drought. Chinch bugs use their piercing mouthparts to suck moisture from grass blades, then inject a toxic lethal saliva into the blades that interrupts water movement within the grass, causing the grass to die quickly if not treated. It is very important to have your lawn sprayed with a preventative treatment to stop damage to turf and sod replacement. Call for a free estimate and lawn inspection 407-732-4220
