Stop Chinch Bugs Before They Ruin Your Central Florida Lawn

If you’ve noticed irregular brown patches in your St. Augustine or Zoysia grass that keep spreading even though you’re watering and fertilizing, you’re likely dealing with one of Florida’s most destructive pests: chinch bugs.

Superior GreenWorx LLC is a family-owned lawn and pest control company proudly based right here in Central Florida. We’ve been protecting Seminole and Orange County lawns from chinch bug treatment Orlando homeowners dread since the first hot days of May. When you call 407-630-4699, you reach a local family that still answers the phone ourselves — because your lawn is personal to us.

What Are Chinch Bugs and Why Central Florida Lawns Are at Risk

Chinch bugs (Blissus insularis) are tiny (⅛–⅙ inch) insects that suck the sap from grass blades and inject a toxin that kills turf fast. In our hot, humid Seminole and Orange County climate, populations explode from spring through fall.

Common signs of Florida lawn bugs like chinch bugs:

•  Yellowing grass that turns straw-brown in sunny, stressed areas

•  Patches that spread outward in irregular shapes (unlike circular fungus)

•  Grass that doesn’t green up after rain or fertilizer

•  Tiny black insects with white wings crawling near the soil when you part the grass

Left untreated, chinch bugs can destroy an entire lawn in weeks — especially in Oviedo, Winter Springs, Longwood, Lake Mary, and Orlando neighborhoods with St. Augustine turf.

Why DIY Chinch Bug Treatments Usually Fail in Orlando & Oviedo

Homeowners often try store-bought insecticides first, but here’s the truth most big-box labels don’t tell you:

•  Most over-the-counter products only kill adult chinch bugs — not the eggs or nymphs hiding in the thatch

•  Florida-resistant strains laugh at many common active ingredients

•  Improper timing or watering washes the treatment away

That’s why professional turf pest control from a local company like Superior GreenWorx is the only guaranteed way to stop chinch bug control Winter Springs, Oviedo, and Orlando families trust year after year.

Real Customer Story – Oviedo Family Saves Their Lawn

“Last June our front yard turned brown overnight. We thought it was drought, but Superior GreenWorx found thousands of chinch bugs. Two treatments later and our lawn is greener than ever. Wish we called sooner!”

— Jennifer M., Oviedo (Tuskawilla area)

6 Actionable Tips to Make Your Lawn Less Attractive to Chinch Bugs Right Now

1.  Mow St. Augustine at 3.5–4 inches (never lower in summer)

2.  Avoid overwatering — chinch bugs thrive in wet thatch

3.  Dethatch if buildup is thicker than ½ inch

4.  Reduce stress with proper spring/summer fertilization

5.  Encourage natural predators (big-headed ground beetles love chinch bugs)

6.  Call the pros at the first sign of irregular brown patches
