Chinch bugs are a sucking insect, about half the size of an ant, which suck the life-out of blades of grass. In July the bugs are still in the nymph stage and their appetite is not fully developed. By August they will be adults and capable of killing an entire lawn if left unchecked. MacDonald says he already sees evidence of chinch bug damage on Midland lawns. When the bugs infest an area of the lawn the grass will die and lie flat. It will initially look like the lawn is drying out in patches and people will spend more time watering their lawn, but with little effect. "I'm trying to save everyone a lot of water, and a lot of trouble by warning them about chinch bugs now" he says. The chinech bug originates in the southern United States and was first seen in Canada in 1971. The bugs have been multiplying over the past few years and in some areas have reached epidermic proportions. Adults over winter are under hedges, patio stones, or along driveways. These adult bugs lay eggs in early June and the first young nymphs can be found in late June or early July. During this stage the nymptus are red-brown in color, As they grow older, the bugs develop a white strip across their backs and they darken in colour, becoming totally grey in August. They suck the juice out of the grass blades and inject a toxin at the same time. Chinch bug damage starts in brown patches. It looks like a garbage can lid has been left on the lawn and the grass has died in a patch. The bugs can take over an entire lawn and kill it by the end of August, allowing ants and weeds to move in. bugs is to search for them at the base of the grass stalks. gardeners to get down on their knees and check around the edges of any brown patches for the bugs. the bugs is with the available detecting them is to cut the bottom from a coffee can, pul it on a pateh of the lawn, fill it with water and watch for the bugs to float to the Gardeners brown MacDonald advises aggravate hands and. like grass. moist, Another method of commonly pesticide MacDonald ends buying il diazinon, surface. the bugs over a_ two week period.
