Chinch Bug Prevention Tips & Services

If your lawn is at risk for chinch bugs, there are steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of a chinch bug outbreak in your lawn. One of the best ways to reduce the likelihood of chinch bugs is to water your lawn during high-heat periods. Chinch bugs are most at home in hot, arid conditions. Watering your lawn during dry, hot summer stretches will make your lawn less inviting to chinch bugs, reducing the risk of damage.

Another way to prevent chinch bugs is lawn aeration. Chinch bugs usually hide in the shade beneath thatch — a layer of dead plant matter that sits on top of your lawn’s soil. Reducing thatch through core aeration will give chinch bugs less shade and shelter, forcing them to find somewhere else to call home.
