Chinch bugs are small insects, growing to be about ⅕ an inch in length. They are oval-shaped, and they have white, overlapping wings with distinctive black patterning. Chinch bugs are common throughout the US, however, warmer areas in the Southern United States tend to see more chinch bug activity. Chinch bugs prefer higher temperatures, so they’ll typically be active around sources that radiate heat. A sure sign of chinch bug activity is if large patches seem to spread starting from the edge of concrete.
Look for any discoloration of turf grass in your yard. Prioritize spots that could radiate heat, like areas along pavement, then proceed to do an overall inspection of the entire lawn. If you’ve found any discolored patches, you’ll need to take a closer look to confirm for chinch bug activity. Along the edges of discolored patches, simply press back on different segments turf and comb the area for any live chinch bugs. Chinch bugs are attracted to moisture, so watering these areas can coax the chinch bugs towards the grass surface. Another inspection method involves using a cylindrical object, like a coffee can. Remove the lid and the bottom end of the can. Drive the can about three inches into the ground, close to the edges of discolored patches. Then fill the can about ¾ of the way with water. You’ll need to continually add water to maintain the level for about 10 minutes. Occasionally agitate the water while you wait. If chinch bugs are present, they will float to the surface.
Before starting any treatment, be sure to wear your personal protective equipment, or PPE, and remember to keep all people and pets off the treated areas until dry. To get rid of chinch bugs, you’ll need to use insecticides labeled for chinch bug control like Bifen LP and Reclaim IT. To start, calculate your treatment area’s square footage by measuring the area’s length and width and multiplying them together. You’ll use this to determine how much product you need to use.
Treating just the spots you’ve found chinch bugs in won’t guarantee they won’t move to other areas. So for effective treatment, you’ll make a broadcast treatment of Bifen LP over your entire lawn. Once you’ve finished your Bifen application, water it in with an application of Reclaim IT. Reclaim IT is a liquid insecticide concentrate, so it will need to be mixed with water before application. Evenly distribute the entire amount of product over your treatment area.

Have a little gap in a window, now got thousands of chinch bugs all over the windows and floor in my arizona room...fun times!!!
Does this need to be done before overseeding or does it not matter?
Aren’t these products banned? I can’t seem to find any in Canada.
Isn't the main ingredient in Reclaim IT bifinthrin? If so why would you want to apply Bifin IT and Reclaim IT when they both have the same Active ingredient?
for coverage
you can’t buy any of this stuff in canada so now what ?
Go to a nursery and tell them you need an insecticide for your tomato plants. They may have something in a locked case that can kill chinch bugs. I just did a 1st treatment this morning. We'll see if it works.
I have a better idea. I'll call a lawn care company. 😂
The chinch bugs I have in lawn look exactly like these but are red instead of white.
dozens of varieties...like skeeters.
So in other words it’s really expensive to get rid of chinch bugs.
Comb the desert
All you have to do is water the lawn and you will see them flying around
These bugs were all over the siding of our house tonite ~ millions of them. Finally found out they are Chinch bugs from researching ~ what would attract them to the house ? The lawn damage we have we thought was from the dog ! Guess we will be busy !

They are usually transmitted via the mowing decks of residential lawn crews, kinda like lawn mower std’s. If you cut your own grass & still got em, they may have came from a neighbors lawn.
winter hibernation or spring warm up. insects are like lizards cold blooded.
@@bluesyjazzy-ish3489i have my class A,C,E,I,L ...it can work that way, but it doesn't due to the violence of the air flow and stationary and moving metal..it's be like throwing a baby into a tornado..chances of it living are slim might we as well be none. same with the tires, the side walls it's possible, but also another factor is the immediate next lawn has to have the same living conditions. insects are a plague like mover, the wind carries them like dandelions, cottonwood, cat tails but with out the right living conditions they don't live long or propagate well ie. cat tails will only grow WELL in swampy wetland, dandelions the reverse, cottonwoods like sand over clay soil....these all will grow other places, but they won't become millions at a time. other wise you'd have japanese grub beatles eating your lawn roots just because some one else had lawn service in the neighborhood...soil conditions and plant types and wind and temperatures and humidity levels play huge roles in insects life cycles
All bugs do is just cause damage. There’s literally a bug for everything that causes damage. Geez
nature also has a control for it, usually a predator bug or avian or weather cycle. a good late frost at the beginning of summer ends alot of skeeters and grass hoppers, a dry drought summer has the same affect on aquatic bugs larvae, attracting the right bird types with free homes and stable food supply when there aren't bugs, there's also a microbial war and plant war you can use
