Cinch Bugs
I live in Florida, have St. Augustine grass and now have my first cinch bug
infestation. There are about half a dozen brown spots on the lawn at this time. My question is what is the simplest way to get rid of these pests. Thanks in advance...Ross |

You use a fertilizer spreader to apply it. Another great bonus is that it keeps the ants out of your yard. |

Thanks in advance...Ross Scott's has a granular bagged product specifically for this problem and it is usually carried at Lowes, though the name eludes me at the moment. Google Scott's website for verification of the name. |

Clover repells cinch bug and produces nitrogen which benifits your regular grass - a natural way to control unwanted bugs. |
