If you are providing your lawn with adeâ€" quate moisture â€" that is, soaking it deeply once a week (which means about 1 inch of water, usually taking between 2 and 3 hours with a steady application of water through an impact sprinkler or an oscillating fan shaped sprinkler) and still find the grass dying out in spots, chances are you have an insect problem.

Chinch bug, white grub and webworm are the worst offenders when it comes to actually killing the grass. Ants are a nuiâ€" sance because their hills make the grass unpleasantly bumpy but they don‘t derive their sustenance from the grass blades and roots like the others do. Fortunately, two lowâ€"toxicity chemical insecticides which effectively control the three grass killing insects will also get rid of the ants â€" which is a nice bonus. They are Bugban C with the active ingredient chlorpyrifox, and Diazinon, packaged under its own name. Use Bugban C for chinch bug, white grubs and ants. Diazinon will control sod webâ€" worm and ants. Applied at the correct rate and according to label directions, these treatments are not toxic to pets, birds or earthworms.

In July, if you notice dry sunken patches that seem to be spreading, flood the area with water and place a white cloth over it. If present, the chinch bugs are tricked into climbing onto the cloth. Another method of detecting them is to cut the bottom out of a tin can, push it into the soil and fill it with water. In a few minutes, the chinch bugs should rise to the top of the water. Browning in July can foreâ€" warn you of serious lawn damage in August, if the insects are left unattended to.
