These insects suck the chlorophyll from grass leaf blades resulting in yellow leaf blades and a lawn that has a bleached out appearance. Infested lawns typically do not green-up from either fertilizer applications or increased watering. If left untreated, lawns can actually appear to go dormant. This is a very unhealthy situation for your turf if it continues throughout the growing season.<\/p>\n
