It has been 2 months, the cinch bugs and shrubs are eating away the grass. I've used multiple brands of insect killers but they keep coming back. Two months ago I used Weed and Feed, after that I had the hardest time with cinch bugs eating my grass. Any good ideas?
If it's grubs that you have, you can vacuum the lawn (really) with a shop vac, use soapy water or apply Diazinon or similar product. The best thing grass eating bugsis to make sure this is what you have. For the "grubs" apply what is recommended for these critters (2nd link). This is a good time for the first treatment & the 2nd one in spring. If you want an organic method, Milky Spore is good for grubs. It must be applied 3x a year for 2yrs. Make sure what you're dealing with isn't St. Augustine fungus. It's very common in that type of grass & spreads vegrass eating bugsry rapidly. It can destroy your whole lawn, so check with a professional grass company. They'll give you a free analysis/estimate. It's cheaper than new sod. Good luck.
Dish soap. Dilute it (1/4 cup soap to about a gallon of water) and put some in a spray bottle and saturate the areas where the bugs are. You can repeat as often as you want as it is non-toxic.
