Chinch Bug Appearance & Damage
Southern chinch bug adults are oblong, oval, and black with shiny white wings. Each wing is marked with a black triangle.
- Chinch bugs prefer thick mats of turf in sunny, open areas.
- In warm summer months, populations may have as many as 7-10 overlapping generations.
- Nymphs and adults damage turfgrass by sucking fluid from the blades of grass.
- They then inject the plant with a secretion. This interferes with water and nutrient movement, causing wilted, discolored turfgrass.
- Chinch bugs thrive during warm, damp weather. Peak infestation period is early July.
Chinch Bug Treatment
At Nature's Select we first treat chinch bugs by creating healthy soil. Our Nature's Select Solutions is our proprietary blend of nutrients, minerals, and other natural ingredients that replenish depleted soil with living organisms. Healthy grass grows in healthy soil — and it attracts beneficial insects, which feed on chinch bugs and their eggs. In cases of large infestations, we can treat the affected areas with insecticides targeting chinch bugs, as well as other pests such as grubs, army worms, and sod webworms.
