Chinch Bugs in St. Augustine Grass

If your St. Augustine lawn in Florida is turning yellow or brown despite watering, chinch bugs may be the culprit. These tiny pests suck the sap from grass blades and inject toxins, leaving behind dry, patchy turf that looks like drought damage.

Signs of Chinch Bug Damage

Yellow or brown patches that spread in sunny, dry areas
Grass that doesn’t recover after watering
Small black-and-white insects at the base of the grass
