Control Chinch Bugs With Natural Insecticides

Controlling Modest Chinchbug Infestations
Chinch bug infestations can usually be controlled by pouring a neem oil soap product over affected turf areas (not over the entire lawn). Do not use on drought-stressed plants, bleeding hearts, crown of thorns, gardenia, horse chestnut, jade plant, Japanese maple, lantana, mountain ash, sweet peas or new growth on conifers. Please read and follow directions. For Neem Oil Soap product information go to Yardener's Tool Shed.

Control Chinch Bugs With Synthetic Insecticides

If more than 25% of you lawn has been damaged by chinchbugs, you should probably use a more powerful insecticide to stop the pests in their tracks. Try one of the pyrethroid products found in Yardener's Tool Shed in the Synthetic Insecticides for the Lawn section.

Several effective products are Delta Eight by Bonide and Power Force™ Multi-Insect Killer by Bayer
