Chinch Bug Control

Few things can turn your yard into a real headache more than chinch bugs. These voracious bugs have long been the bane of the Florida homeowner. They are incredibly difficult to control since they have a tendency to be resistant to most pesticides – they even laughed at DDT that was used over 50 years ago! It takes a very diligent pest control company to keep up with these insects to provide continued chinch bug control.

At Paramount Pest Doctors Lawn & Ornamental Pest Control Inc., we have a full understanding of these insects and how to inspect for chinch bugs and control them. This is not a one-time-and-you’re-done situation, as chinch bugs procreate quickly and can fly in from your neighbor’s lawn. Incorporating chinch bug control into your regular pest control routine will keep these lawn destroyers in check before they turn your lawn into a smorgasbord.

Chinch bugs are particularly fond of St. Augustine grass. They kill the grass by draining the sap from the blades until it withers and eventually dies. They will devour one area and then move on to another if left unchecked. During this endeavor, the females also lay about 250 eggs each during their lifespan, and each egg hatches less than 2 weeks after being laid. It is not difficult to see how quickly a lawn can be infested with chinch bugs. Let us help keep this from happening to you.
