Why This Year is One of the Worst for Chinch Bugs in North Texas
Take a good look at the pictures in this video—anything like that going on in your Midlothian or Prosper lawn? If not yours, what about your neighbors? From what we've seen so far, odds are someone very close to you has a chinch bug infestation or at least chinch bug damage.
This year is quickly becoming one of the worst years for chinch bugs that we've seen in North Texas. The combination of extreme heat and drought conditions has created the perfect storm for chinch bug populations to explode. These tiny pests thrive in hot, dry weather—exactly what we've been experiencing.
Whether you see signs of damage or not, it's always a good idea to get a chinch bug application down. At Vista Lawn and Pest, we do a bifenthrin application for all clients this time of year, regardless of whether chinch bugs are currently active or not.

Remember, chinch bugs can destroy a lawn in a matter of days! Once damage becomes visible, significant harm has already been done. By the time you notice brown patches spreading across your turf, chinch bugs have been feeding for days or even weeks.
The best approach is prevention—not reaction.
Even if your lawn looks healthy now, watch for these warning signs:
Get out there ASAP and get an application down. With chinch bug populations at record highs this year and conditions remaining favorable for these pests, preventative treatment is the smartest investment you can make in your lawn's health.
Don't wait until you see damage—by then it may be too late to save large sections of your turf.
