What Is a Chinch Bug?

Chinch bugs are small flying insects that are about 3/16" long. The adult chinchbug has a black body with short, shiny white wings, while the young insect is orange in color. Bugs are common lawn pests that cause serious damage to lawn turf by sucking the fluid from the grass at its root and crown while at the same time injecting the plant with toxic saliva, causing the grass to wilt and die. Chinch bugs extract plant fluid at the crown and root area of your turf, causing the lawn to turn brown and die out in the areas of the infestation. The damage looks like brown circular patches scattered throughout the infested area.

The chinch bug is a natural part of your lawn's ecosystem, and, when in normal population, it does not damage your lawn. However, at times, our geological area experiences a breeding cycle that can produce the chinchbug more rapidly than the environment can tolerate. The result of this over-population is the appearance of irregular, small, yellow-reddish, round "Dead" Areas in your lawn. There are generally 2-3 egg-laying generations of chinch bugs each year, with each generation causing more damage than the last. 

How to Control Chinch Bugs

 Our one application preventative program is all you need to prevent insect issues for a normal growing season UNLESS you have previously been diagnosed with high insect levels in your lawn. In this case we recommend the two application curative program to treat insects at multiple different hatching times.


Female chinch bugs are capable of laying 300 eggs at a time! Because of this, overpopulation during hot, dry weather is common. Cinch bug infested lawns that have received timely annual insecticide treatments have had great success in minimizing the return of these bugs in damaging numbers.


Maintaining a well-fertilized and nutrient-rich lawn is the best prevention against chinch bug damage. We are available to answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding the Chinch Bug infestation or your lawn care in general. Other common insect problems include sodwebworms, lawn moths, and grubs.
