Removing dead grass also minimizes the probability of female chinch bugs laying eggs and spending their winter on your lawns.Thatch is the dead layer of plant material between the green grass and the top of the soil which provides a protective home for chinch bugs. Bugs will go hibernate in the winter on the soil surface. So, use a rake and remove thatch as the way to remove their hibernate places so that we can prevent female chinch bugs from laying eggs and keep them at a manageable rate.
👉Lawn Irrigation
Irrigating your lawn on the appropriate timetable is suitable for various types of your lawns and their location may keep your lawns fresh and healthy for the whole summer. It also helps control chinch bugs' activity because there is a lot of rainfall, and chinch bugs can be drowned in the water.
Too much or too little water will also cause chinch bug damage to your lawn.
