How Can I Prevent Chinch Bug Damage?



Chinch bugs are especially impressed by stressed lawn and heavily thatched layers. Dethatching and proper irrigation are two common cultural control methods bringing the most effectiveness. However, compared to chemical effects, cultural control chinch bugs will not eliminate bugs completely and they will continue to appear again.

👉Use Resistant Turfgrasses
If your overseed areas were harmed previously by chinch bug with some harmful factors, such as entophytic fungi-containing perennial ryegrass, fine fescue, and tall fescue. Endophytic grass can help you to keep chinch bugs away from your regions. However, these types of grasses do not flourish in the Southern.
If your lawn consists of a mixture of these common turf grasses: Kentucky bluegrass, Zoysiagrass, Perennial ryegrasses, etc., there is a high probability that your lawn is attractive to chinch bugs. Actually, there is no chinch-bug-resistant grass available on the commercial market. So, this way will bring you many difficulties!

👉Use Chemical Control
Although cultural methods reduce significantly the use of chemicals on your lawn to decrease the population of chinch bugs, some dying zones of turfgrass having bugs will require chemical treatment to control chinch bugs. Notice that you just need to use chemicals when the population reaches about 15 - 20 square foot in a yard.
There are two typical types of insecticides: granular and liquid.

👉What Kind of Vinegar Products

The typical vinegar you use in the kitchen is 5% vinegar, which means contains 5% acetic acid and 95% water. This type of vinegar weed killer is best used on small and annual weeds with several applications to best prevent weeds. You can also add a tablespoon of dish soap with a cup of table salt to a gallon of white vinegar to kill the top of the weed, but not its roots. Be careful with the salt build-up in the soil from your homemade mixture because it can hide something growing on it. However, white vinegar weed killers in the store cannot work well with older weeds, perennials, or grasses when you spray vinegar on them. Because the root system of these plants is so tough that requires a 20% vinegar solution. This type of vinegar weed killer is also known as horticultural vinegar pesticides.
