The City of Calgary Integrated Pest Management has provided us with information related to Chinch Bugs, attached is a fact sheet for you. Treating with an insecticide is not recommended because they are best managed through good turf management techniques. Fertilizing, aerating, overseeding and watering are all things that will help manage this pest. Any insecticide will also kill any beneficial insects and natural predators as well as have a negative impact on pollinators.
