Best Practices for Summer Lawn Care in Ohio 

Chinch bugs can wreak havoc on your lawn, turning lush green grass into unsightly patches of yellow and brown. At Portage Turf Specialists, we understand the importance of swift and effective treatment to protect your lawn from these destructive pests.

Chinch bugs thrive in hot, dry conditions, feeding on the sap of your turfgrass and causing significant damage. Identifying an infestation involves looking for tiny black bugs with white markings and irregular patches of damaged grass. To combat these pests, start by deep watering and applying a targeted insecticide. For a more comprehensive solution, trust Portage Turf’s lawn insect protection services to ensure thorough control.

After treatment, focus on recovery by reseeding, fertilizing, and aerating your lawn. With consistent care, your lawn can bounce back stronger and more resilient.
