Envu Solutions - Chinch Bug Management
Chinch bugs are above ground pests that feed on turfgrass throughout the growing season. They can cause severe damage to most cool-season grasses. Chinch bug populations tend to be highest in years with prolonged hot, dry weather. But with proper scouting and effective application timing, you can neutralize this threat and keep your turfgrass healthy.
DeltaGard® SC is a highly effective, fast-acting contact insecticide can be used at low rates to control chinch bugs, ants, cutworms, webworms and ticks. DeltaGard SC contains the active ingredient deltamethrin, which is a thirdgeneration pyrethroid insecticide. It should be applied in enough water volume to achieve deeper coverage into the turfgrass canopy.
Tetrino® is a broad-spectrum systemic insecticide that uses the active ingredient tetranililprole for rapid plant uptake and translocation with excellent residual efficacy. It provides strong systemic activity for many root- and surface-feeding insects – including chinch bugs. Tetrino works best when the plant is actively growing. Repeat applications at 28-day intervals may be necessary for large chinch bug populations.
