There is an infestation of Chinch Bugs in the grass in New Brighton whereby these bugs feed on the roots of the grass – the grass dies and leaves big brown patches all over and can eat their way through your lawn. It looks like your lawn requires watering, but it is the Chinch bug eating its way through and destroying your lawn. It spreads from one lawn to another very quickly and the only way you can get rid of them is by getting them treated from a lawn care company.
If you take a stick or garden shovel and put it into the ground (where the grass is dying off) you can see all those critters scurrying around. If you have them, it is advisable to get your lawn treated. If you don’t get your lawn treated, then you may end up replacing the whole lawn as they do a lot of damage during the summer months.
